Although the Mage Country Arlodant was a mega empire, it didn't have much territory. Most of its population was concentrated in Arlo, its capital of magic.
The Cloud Tower had existed in Arlo's sky for all these past millennia. At first, it had only been a residence and experimental laboratory for high-level mages where they could avoid letting explosions affect other residential districts.
But as magic education became more commonplace, the mages in Arlodant became older on average as more and more people achieved an undying power level. This meant that the Cloud Tower gained more and more permanent residents.
