When the Odon kingdom (once known as Kalerac) was attacked by overwhelming forces known as Daidom the Odon were forced to leave.
The Odon's most elite mages used incredible powerful magic to release the invisible anchor on many of their floating cities and propel them to safety.
Since then the Odon use the same magic to keep their kingdom moble to evade Daidoms powerful fleet.
In the century that has passed several of the Odon cities have been converted into giant floating military installations used as command centers and even brought into the center of battles.
Out of the original 12 floating cities that fled from Daidom only 9 remain.
The non-military cites are: Odonalic, Cambridge, Ethran.
These cities are currently harbored in safe airspace near Arcitch, an allied kingdom.
The military cities are: Bloodenburg, Griffonclaw, The Ivory Den
Bloodenburg, is currently battling North of occupied Kalerac along with the majority of their airship fleet as well as their allied fleet. The others are patroling the empty airspace between Kalerac and Arcitch, but all battle cities can be moblized at anytime.
The Ruins of Andreon:
During the beginning of the Dai-Odon war a single city stayed behind to protect the way of the surving cities. The city fought for over one hundred days valiantly against Daidom until it was destroyed. When the battle began the city restablished its anchor so it could not be captured and used by its enemy. What remains of the city today are broken, scattered islands of its former self, most islands still have standing buildings from the dead city. while the original population was desimated in the battle but refugees and rogues from other seiged cities have taken up residents in the ruins to create a shanty town on the shattered city. The Odon are against the squaters encrouching on their ancient city but have yet to make any action to remove them.

Ethran is one of the larger islands in the Odon empire but consists mostly of farm land that helps feed the rest of the empire. because this city is so important several small military instalations have been placed around the island that serve as its own personal guard. Most of the Ethran farmers are human and dwarfs, many coming from other lands to make a profit during this time of war and have since settled in as part of the empire.
