Editing Tymora (section)

=== Tengri-Uul — The Sky Mountain ===

Above the herds hangs Tengri-Uul, the Sky Mountain, an enormous floating island crowned with towers, palaces and bridges of enchanted stone. Here the [[Tengri-Kharn]], the city's ruling nobility, govern its trade, diplomacy and defences.

The island maintains a constant height above sea level, bearing the weight of its city without sinking or tilting. What keeps it suspended remains a mystery, but what guides its journey is far more tangible. Three great tethers descend from the island to teams of colossal herd-beasts below. Salhichin herders guide and tend these animals, drawing the city across the plains, while wind-callers use air magic to steady its passage.

The Sky Lords may choose the destination, but it is the herders and their beasts who carry them there. Along the way, the Oasis Tribes guard the freshwater springs upon which the travelling herds depend. The floating city, the nomads beneath it and the settlements along their route together sustain one of Tymora's greatest travelling trade networks.

That partnership brings wealth and opportunity, but also friction. The Tengri-Kharn rule from their palaces above, while the Salhichin shoulder the work below. Neither can easily prosper without the other, even when pride, resentment and competing beliefs threaten to pull them apart.
