Cirrushearth

Cirrushearth clings to sky-scraping cliffs where giant eyries nest atop cloud-wreathed peaks. The village’s sprawling terraces and wooden halls are tethered by thick ropes and enchanted chains, overlooking vast valleys below. Isolation breeds a quiet reverence for the skies and the old ways, as this cloud giant village guards secrets older than the mountains themselves.
