Vola'rokûnd, the ancestral city, is a city located and guarding the base of the Ancestral Peak. It is a large, sprawling city with many buildings and temples. It is the home of the Nêon'Itar, the ruling race of the Rykaran kingdom.
Vola'rokûnd is the capital of the Rykaran Kingdom.
*The Nêon'Itars live in a series of tall, spire-like buildings that are connected by bridges and walkways. These buildings are made from a mixture of stone and metal, and they are decorated with elaborate carvings and sculptures.
The streets of the city are filled with vendors selling food and goods, and there is a bustling market square where people can buy and sell goods.*
Like the rest of the Rykaran kingdom, humans are merely tolerated and not allowed to stay, seen as a lesser race by the Nêon'Itar.
The city is ruled by a council of seven wealthy and influential Nêon'Itars called "the shining ones.".
The Ancestral Peak is the center of Nêon'Itar society and a holy site. The Nêon'Itar make pilgrimages here to honor their ancestors and to receive their blessing. The mountain is also a natural fortress, and the Nêon'Itar have built fortifications to protect it from attack. (Qitara is patrolling at the top of the ancestral peak and protecting it from trespassers.) It is rumored that those who reach the peak can access the Far domain despite the flying continent being far from the mountain and Rykaran kingdom. Many monsters and wild beasts make the Ancestral peak their homes, some hostile warbands as well. The peak of the Ancestral mountain is incredibly high, and the ascent is dangerous, even suicidal.
