Overview

Behold the marvellous city of Serraine. If it is splendour you seek, look to the gleaming timbers, shining metals, and glimmering marbles of the Flying City. Serraine, wonder of the age!
- Serraine Traveller’s Guidebook

A gnomish city build atop a floating island, the Flying City Serraine is outfitted with techno-magical devices that allow it to move around freely, and hover over places of interest. The city frequents areas where it has cultivated commercial agreements but occasionally heads further afield in search of new trade partners. The city imports raw materials and large amounts of food, and sells complex gnomish mechanisms and some of the finest cut gems and jewellery anywhere on Alusia. It also boasts a prestigious library, and a number of entertainments for visitors.

Despite its size, and the moderate height at which it floats, the city is virtually impossible to spot from the ground as its supporting island usually surrounded by cloud banks and the the underside is enchanted with magics similar to illusory terrain.
