Territory

## Featherfall Heights

AriaWings live in a towering mountain range called Featherfall Heights. It lies about 250 miles southeast of the Pyrrhian Rainforest Queendom. The cliffs rise straight up from the ocean with perilous jagged rocks down below. Featherfall, however, is gorgeous and peaceful. The mountains are covered in trees and high-elevation wildlife that serve to make the land a stunning spring green. Valleys rest in-between the mountains, with gentle rivers and soft grass blanketing the landscape. And considering that typical AriaWing architecture seeks to work with nature rather than fighting against it, Featherfall is a haven for endangered species of plants and animals. The land has never been ravaged by fire or war, and its location yields warm weather year-round. It may as well be paradise.

### Lilyflower Court

The massive mountain that lies in the center of Featherfall has been meticulously carved out by generations past and now is home to the largest, grandest palace the dragon world has ever seen: Lilyflower Court. Clinging to the side of the cliffs, a large, pink marble castle spirals into the sky, with green vines and white flowers flowing over the hundreds of balconies set into the stone. Lilyflower Court continues into the mountain, following the shape of the cliffs. It’s absolutely massive and extends all throughout the mountain, with tunnels and grottos and just about everything you can think of inside. A large number of the AriaWing population lives and works inside the castle. However, since the tribe is so focused on nature and sunlight, all of the homes built into the palace are on the outside, so natural light can get in easily.

### Willowmist Falls

The largest town in Featherfall other than Lilyflower Court is called Willowmist Falls. Willowmist Falls is a massive, steep cliff face on the West side of Featherfall, where the Willowmist River falls a half a mile to the ocean. Homes, shops, and every other building are set right into the cliff, where countless balconies can be seen. (It’s most similar to Angel Falls in Venezuela.) On top of the Falls, where the waterfall begins, is Willowmist Village, simply referred to as “the village” by Willowmist residents. It’s far smaller than the city down below and is home to many of Featherfall’s agricultural workers, who mainly grow exotic fruits and dianthus flowers.

### Bubbledream Nursery

Bubbledream Nursery is a quiet hatching place far away from the homes of the rest of the AriaWings. This is because so many AriaWings are practicing their magic at any given time that a hatchling who hasn’t consumed very much dianthus can be easily entranced and it can be near impossible to draw them out of that trance, especially if nobody knows who did it. So hatchlings are kept at Bubbledream Nursery and fed dianthus until they reach 1 year of age, which is when they are allowed to go with their parents out into Featherfall.

There are caretakers and teachers working at the nursery. Everybody employed there is forbidden to use their magic in the vicinity of hatchlings under penalty of exile, which is practically a death sentence. Working at Bubbledream is considered to be a very prestigious and honorable job, and those who manage to get it would be stupid to waste such an opportunity.
