Thua Don

Location
The city farthest to the North in Cadia.

Noteable Trivia

 * Thua Don is Tera's hometown.
 * Transport circles have been implemented recently in popular places (city hall, marketplace, etc.), mostly for guests. The Stilted City is still traveled to and around by locals most often by snowshoe or sled, etc.
 * This city is the most cut off from Abigh and the influence of the King and Senate, and is mostly left to the elected city council for governmental matters. It is small and remote enough to not be considered a hazard to the power of the Crown.
 * Tera's aunt, Varvara, recently became head of the council and runs a lot of the logistics for it. She had planned on moving to a larger city, but stayed to raise Tera.
 * The town gets supplies from the  somewhat nearby port in Iorma; most cargo is shuttled to the city by large sleds run by mammoths.

The Stilted City
The buildings of Thua Don are built on stilts, out of the deep, constant snows. In recent years, the walkways have been engraved with warming sigils, and the snow merely melts off, instead of the constant need for shoveling. Misc. Dubelle Bueffon, who plowed the walkways for many years stated that there is ‘no greater blessing’ than the engraved walkways. Misc. Bueffon, with more time on their hands, has now become a renowned painter and sculptor in the city.

High Rise Ruins
Nearby the city are old world ruins, a toppled high rise apartment building, overtaken by snow and nature. There are some more demolished buildings as well, office buildings, smaller apartments, and scientific labs. Due to the kingdom's laws, and the threat of snow and cold, the citizens of Thua Don all stay far away from the ruins.

Field of Glass
Giant hemispheres, solid spheres and shards of glass jut out from the icy shores near Thua Don. There are many different colors of this glass, and it almost seems to have been grown in different crystalline structures.

The Observatories
Scattered around the snowy plains north of Thua Don, giant telescope-like objects point to the sky. Observers have claimed to see the telescope and its entire base spin, pointing it at different points in the sky. In the center of all these is a small building, walls filled with rectangular glass structures and tables with knobs, buttons and wires embedded into their surfaces.
