The Sanctuary of Eden
The Sanctuary of Eden is the largest and most populous place on Valmora, sat upon floating mountains high above the sea, it is hard to notice that one is floating 1000ft off the sea level when in Eden. Eden’s economy is one of the largest growing and highest value in the known universe, with things like chairs selling for 1-1.5 platinum, if you can access Eden, you can make a killing if only you knew how to get back to Menosophia.
