Aulunthe (pronounced awl-OON-thay) is an aerolith, one of the few known to still be aloft. Like other elven cities in the air, it has been exceedingly reclusive and isolationist since most of its sister cities landed, intentionally or otherwise, millennia ago.
The most recent direct contact between Aulunthe and the broader world was in Y9498* when it passed by the city of Teshub and sent a flock of birds carrying cryptic messages to the surface, where rested on the lightspire until their payloads were collected. The messages contained a collection of centennial censuses of Aulunthe's population, encoded by a cypher that was only cracked several centuries later, as well as a warning to stay away. Notably the last five censuses at the time recorded only a single inhabitant, presumed to be the aerotheurge keeping the city flying on their own.
Since then Aulunthe has remained over the Na-Gaesa Ocean, largely above the islands of the Wounds, though it has drifted closer to Hinthial and Brightmarch on several occasions before moving west once more.
