🏰 Fortresses, Keeps & Skyholds (2)

Stormcrag Hold

A massive stone-and-bone fortress built atop a sheer mountain peak, accessible only by narrow switchback paths and trained wind-beasts. Stormcrag Hold is the meeting place of clan chieftains during times of war and the stronghold of the High Sky-Thane.

Talonscar Redoubt

A grim fortress carved into a cliff face overlooking deep ravines. Talonscar Redoubt guards traditional migration routes and serves as a launching point for aerial raids and gryphon patrols.

🏙 City (1)

Highwind

A terraced mountain city clinging to a vast ridgeline, connected by rope bridges, stone steps, and wind-lifts. Highwind is the Skyrend Clans’ largest permanent settlement and primary trade point with outsiders brave enough to climb to it.

🛖 Village (1)

Skyshear

A hardy village of stone huts and wind-lashed tents located near a high mountain pass. Skyshear supplies scouts, messengers, and weather-readers to the clans.

🌾 Farm (1)

Cloudbarrow

A rare high-altitude farming enclave nestled in a sun-sheltered basin. Cloudbarrow cultivates hardy grains, root vegetables, and grazing stock adapted to thin air and fierce winds. Its survival is considered a blessing from the sky spirits.
