==History of Ketheres Elyion==
In time before memory, during the First Age, the city of Ketheres Elyion served as a bastion of culture for the Solar Exalted. The site of their highest (literally) temple to their patron, Ketheres Elyion floated serenely above the land the Exalted ruled. It made regular circuits around the Blessed Isle, weaving out to the Threshold to awe peasants before looping back in to visit the central continent again.

The city was largely manned by a collection of mechanical servitors designed to direct the city’s course, perform regular maintenance, and keep the peace among the mortal populace. These mechanical servants were controlled by a primary central core. Collectively the core and the servitors were called the Ten Thousand Honored Artificial Lawmen.

By tradition, the city was governed by a Zenith-caste high priest who acted as the city’s governor and judge, and who also performed regular services in worship to the Unconquered Sun. Business as usual continued for time out of mind, until the High First Age.

The city’s ultimate fate was decided during the climax of a battle of truly epic proportions between the city’s reigning high priest and another ancient Solar, a general whom had been the third member of an intricate (and not fully explained) love-triangle opposing the priest. Their reckless use of fantastically powerful charms that had scarce seen use since the Primordial War eventually tore the fabric of Creation asunder, hurling the entire city and everyone in it into the maw of the Wyld.

After having been sacked by goblins and nobles, the city drifted into the Deep Wyld and remained uninhabited and lost for centuries.
