**Amidst the cloud-grazing peaks of the southern mountains, the skyborne Lánaraï have made their home. A natural fortress, this mighty temple-city is perched upon the two imposing peaks known as The Pillars of Heaven. In its tallest towers, the most powerful of the Lánaraï work tirelessly, weaving complex spells and reconstructing ancient and arcane technologies in the vain hope that they will regain enough of their former knowledge to leave the planet of Vónekh VII forever.**
### Araïkharóth
The tall mountain range of The Silver Spine winds through the vast land of Khaïrnóth, dividing north from south and providing a natural barrier from the rampaging and bellicose Kheïtanni. It ends in the southwest tip of the continent, where the tumultuous ocean crashes against towering peaks.
It is here, amidst the cloud-grazing peaks that the Lánaraï have made their home. A natural fortress, the mighty temple-city of Araïkharóth (lit. “The City of Sky”) is perched upon the two imposing peaks known as The Pillars of Heaven. In times now long past, the dominion of the Lánaraï spread further afield, with watchtowers running the length of The Silver Spine and outposts as far north as Duskwood Vale. The long years of a war of attrition have made such expansive holdings an unwarranted luxury and over time, their forces have pulled back to Araïkharóth. It is here where they closed their doors to the rest of the world, turning their back upon their creations – both their Rhïan children and their bastard cousins, the Vaïar.
In the tallest towers of this great city, the most powerful of the Lánaraï now work tirelessly, weaving complex spells and reconstructing ancient and arcane technologies in the vain hope that they will regain enough of their former knowledge to leave the backwater planet of Vaëtar VII behind forever.
When designing The Pillars of Heaven, we wanted to truly display the self-absorbed grandeur and limitless vanity of the Lánaraï. The looming angelic statues that dominate the city skyline are gargantuan in size and impossible in scope, but nothing is beyond these, the children of the stars. The dual peaks and near sheer slope also helped to reinforce a race granted the power and luxury of flight. There are no heights, nor reaches that are beyond their grasp. They glare in longing at even the cold and distant stars. To them, the vast gulfs of space are but a temporary hindrance and a challenge to be overcome.
They know that one day the stars will be theirs once more.
