(Town)Character: Life on the ice is hard, and the people who’ve got the strength to handle it are in charge. As for the rest, endure and keep working, there’s prosperity aplenty, so long as you don’t ask for freedom or happiness and keep your head down when the powerful pass. Don’t trust outsiders, they’re unworthy and can upset and unsteady cart.
Long before there was a Citadel of Ice and Steel, there was El Ziafar. Once upon a time the djinn had no single leader, but were broken into many tribes even as the jann are today. It came to pass that eight tribes settled in a great axial point in the Plane of Air where eight winds diverged in eight directions. Each of the eight claimed one of the winds and built a gate to harness it and a palace around the gate. Eventually the palace-gates were connected and became a city.
