Thoricea

Thoricea, the city of mages, sits atop a series of floating islands surrounded by great magic spells that prevent unwanted intruders from trespassing. The city is virtually unreachable by traditional means and can only be accessed by those whom the Elder Council have deemed worthy to enter. It is here where many wizards study the arcane and improve their craft for many years with very few ever leaving. The city is full of mystical wonders and curiosities that most only ever dream of, having been built and improved upon by mages over the centuries. The city is ruled over by the Elder Council, a mysterious group of archmages who preside over different aspects of the city and oversee all affairs pertaining to matters outside the city, such as trade agreements and wars, whenever necessary. The Elders are mysterious and rarely make their presence known, leading to rumors about the members. The populace of Thoricea consists almost entirely of mages with a rather wide variety of racial diversity among them.
