The CloudWing Kingdom is situated in a large, mountainous archipelago named the Archipelago of Clouds. The total area of CloudWing territory is equal to half of Pyrrhia's total size. Actual buildings or cities are far and wide spread, but that is not a problem to the CloudWings for they can fly for two or three days at a time.

Cities are rarely ever really made, as the CloudWings think that cities will ground them too much to one place. There are two large settlements in the Kingdom, each one is called a "city" for formality.

Royal Island

The Royal Island is the home to the Cloud Palace and the Royal Flock. The Royal Island is the second biggest island in the kingdom. The city is made of a variety of towers made of white marble and quartz. The tallest of the towers is the palace itself, which reaches above the clouds. A small part of the palace in underground, which holds the treasury and the entrances to the guest rooms and the Royal Chambers. The rooms are open to the air, however, allowing entrance from above.

All of the towers are connected by bridges, which are mostly used for elderly dragons and guests with aching wings. On a flatter part of the island, in a lare valley, is the extravagant gardens filled with exported plants from around the world. And at the base of the palace, surrounded by the city itself, is the great Feasting Plaza.

Shrouded City

A city founded to house the biggest Flock in the Kingdom. The Shrouded City is founded on a large island that holds a lot of geothermal activity. The city gets its name from the geothermal activity that surrounds the place, as pools of water are superheated to give off a constant mist, giving the entire city a "city in the clouds" look.

The Shrouded City is also home to a majority of the Magisallian visitors that come to the Cloud Kingdom looking for a peaceful life away from the Academy.

Mega Moon Temple

The Mega Moon Temple is a large, carved out cavern a few miles away from the Royal Island. It is situated below a rather small island, with its entrance being a large stone castle-like structure that can only be opened with Royal CloudWing cloud breath.

The doors open to a large staircase that goes down to a considerable depth. The stair then level out to a giant, carved out cavern that was once used as a palace. The cavern is big enough to hold at least two hundred dragons, with rooms for sleeping, a large Hatchery, barracks, a large throne room, and a room called the El-Xion Center.

The El-Xion Center is locked by Animus magic, but inside is a collection of Animus touched objects that were used by the ancient CloudWings. Why they were left behind when the CloudWings moved out due to overcrowding is a mystery.

CloudWing Arena

The CloudWings possess a large arena used for Elemental Duels. Fourteen pillars surround it, each bearing the banner of a Magisallian Territory. Duels here are usually to resolve debacles between two dragons. Spectators sometimes come to watch, but there are dragons stationed there to make sure a duel doesn't turn deadly.

The Arena is located in between the Royal Island and the Shrouded City.

Other Islands

Other islands come in cluster and are relatively far apart. Many Flocks make their temporary homes around these islands. Some of them look like giant rib cages, or gaping dragon mouths that lead down into deep, underwater caverns. Some hold tall towers that serves as Magisallian stations, libraries, or just random towers used for land markers.
