Kingdom of Autry

The Kingdom of Autry is one of several on the continent, but for quite some time, one of the most powerful. In recent times, with the abdication of their legendary general and the ensuing period of severe civil unrest, they have quickly fallen in power - neighboring superpowers are growing restless, some beginning to plan invasions, in order to sweep in and take what is left after the bloody civil war currently brewing.

[The jewel of Autry is the city of Lürga Lazda, the sprawling capital city around which the entire kingdom lies. It was for a long time the most advanced city on the continent, and while certain of its neighbors have since surpassed it, the prevalence of magic is by far the most concentrated here of anywhere on the continent - everything from streetlights to heaters to airships are powered by magic, generally stored in the crystals mined en masse from nearby mines. At the very heart of the city, atop the highest tip of the mountain the rest of the city surrounds, sits the throne of the Grand Vizier. Though past his glory days, he is a shrewd ruler and a famed magician of higher caliber than any other mortal in the entire shard]

[The city stretches on for miles, crossing chasms and spanning mountains, but is mostly linked by immense bridges - the prevalence of aerial travel means that it bothers citizenry and Autry military only minimally, whereas conventional military forces would need to use the bridges for transportation, all while under the fire of Lürga Lazda's military forces and magi. One of the more traveled bridges actually bridges one part of the city to another that floats atop a sky island, rather than the mountains most of the rest of the city is built on. Needless to say, it is a tourist trap of the highest degree, though the unbelievable views are enough to occasionally even stop those who have lived there for decades.]

[In a way, the jewel of Autry is almost several cities in one, each major section with its own miniature economy, attractions, schools, and 'city centers.' Dahira is one of the better known sections of the city, best known for its hanging gardens and the prestigious Saren school of sorcery, which doubles as one of Autry's most legendary universities.]
