Cauldarous

Capital city of the Draic empire. The cityscape twists and winds like tree roots. The streets themselves like creeper vines snake upwards to the Grand Hill, on top of which the Tree itself grows. From anywhere in the city, the reaching branches of the mighty tree can be seen, spanning over the Royal Palace and casting their shadow over the Seeker's Hall.

The city itself is partitioned by the bulging roots of the grand Tree. It is from these enormous roots that the stylised high rise buildings of the Draic empire are derived. (Are the buildings based on the roots, or are their foundations on the roots.

These structures stretch upwards towards the heavens beyond what would seem possible to create. The Draic architects have used the natural foundation formed by the tree and concepts from the natural world in their engineering designs. The structures celebrate the beauty of the tree, rather than detract from it, both in design and construction. (more design notes?)

The largest of these roots cut through the city, and it is by these behemoths that the city is separated into sectors and the populace defined. Each of these sectors houses a subset of the population:

==Royalty== (Royal houses?)

Workers of the Hand

Builders and Artificers(Workers of the Hand)

Servants of the Blade

Warriors(Workers of War?) Workers of the Land

The Seekers

The Seekers(and maybe royal family?) are the only ones that do not live by the roots. Instead live by the Tree itself.(On the Grand Hill)
