Paisa akdi San

It may be you can find a person on Heera who hasn't heard the name of the capital city Paisa akdi San - Paradise Willed to Be - but you will never find a person who does not know of it, or where it is - at the very eye of Heera's sky, the city of Paisa akdi San encircles the sun itself. This colossal temple city ring was carved from jade-granite in ancient times by the Sanhas, where it originally encircled the northern maelstrom. How it left the earth and joined the sun in the sky is a mystery all shcolars are eagerly invested in uncovering. Hisobjectiquirians, for instance, are wholly invested in finding out how the Sanhas knew to carve the city on the inside of the ring, so that it became possible for the people of Paisa akdi San to walk through their magnificent temple city without falling out of the sky themselves. The full understanding of gravity is credited to the lanlen, but to put their city into the sky the Sanhas must have been millennia ahead in mathematical understanding, or been particularly lucky with a screwy architect's vision. According to lanle scholars, it is certainly the latter.

To walk in Paisa akdi San is to mingle with the sun itself. At every passing moment one can see the shimmering scales that skitter over its serpentine form - that is, until it becomes night, at which point the sun falls asleep and all the enchanted torches in the city flicker to life, green flames that have hissed awake every sunfade since the city appeared in the sky. Many have said that it is as if the city lives and breathes in unison with the sun, others claim that they are the lingering duties of the Sanhas people who had lived there thousands of years ago. Wiser people recognise it as a simple but powerful enchantment.

What may once have been the highest temple of worship was carved and measured in such a way it always ends up facing the head of the sun directly, and this building has, since the writing of the Realm's Treaty of Sun Rest, been known as '''The Sanctioned Embassy. '''This treaty has ensured the security and construction of several harbors surrounding the ring, and since then it has become the midway point for most airships traversing Heera's skies.

The Sanctioned Embassy may only be entered by the nominated leaders of the world's nations. Here, before the very eyes of the sun, the greatest voices of Heera may negotiate all matters from war to trade, insofar as they do so peacefully. It is primarily used to meet, discuss and cooperate to keep the Z'pirax threat at bay. Anyone who enters this building that isn't the highest authority are immediately sentenced to a lifetime in the skyland mines - this is no sacred ground anymore, but if politics were a religion, it would be.
