Aeronspire

Perched atop a network of colossal stone spires, Aeronspire is home to a reclusive cloud giant clan who live in harmony with the skies. Mist curls through suspended bridges and homes carved from the mountain’s heart. The village is renowned for its soaring views, the whisper of winds, and ancient rune-carved obelisks that hum with forgotten power.
