Character

"Wind Dancer." The man said it while he was there and Noriko gave a nod of her heaad. "Yes soon. These airships are not the fastest compared to a shuttle but... they are quiet and don't disrupt meditations." She said it but went towards the railing as she looked over at the mountains ending.. the cliff going down as in the distance the ancient fortress and academy was visible carved into the mountain. Its building sweeping down into massive gates that held a chokepoint. The open plains filled with dozens of villages that formed a fan almost. "The older fortress. The jade empress laid seige for ten years to it and build villages of loyal soldiers and farmers to keep the enemy forces within."
She said it as the river flowed from the mountains and split into different forks... the plains becoming forests and canyons. The distant mountain standing alone as it jutted up and Norriko had a grin on her face. "And this is one of the homes of my family. Our mountain palace... fortress and trade center. Two hundred thousand members of my family, villagers, farmers, soldiers, traders and then you get to the mountain itself and above that." She pointed as the clouds were there. "The clouds obscure it but there is a palace above it all that is able to look outwards. It served in times past as a fortress and home for the emperors and empresses given its location and fortifications."
