The Restless City

The planet of Alarian, second in a sequence of 8 planets, had always been the seat of the Syntra realm.
Upon its manifold surface the one thing that characterized it the most was the Syntra's eternal capital: the restless city. A city covering one tenth of the planet's surface, and, as the name implies, never standing still. Buildings constantly shifted, reforming in the image of the Syntra state of mind. Never at ease, never at peace, the city would never sleep, never stop changing, because such was its definition.
The Syntra mind had no need for familiarity or memorized patterns, because - like everything - the city's layout was always globally known. As such, it was never bound to any fixed shape, and could evolve as the Syntra nation itself did.
And even when finally their existence became abstract, the city remained restless, forever trying to please its transcending creators.



As the city moved, it constantly glided over the natural cover of the planet's surface, even through caves and seas at times. And always it would integrate that which was around it. Entire stretches of ancient trees were lifted into the sky, or embedded in naturally growing ecospheres underneath the mighty pillars of the city. Buildings would climb the highest mountains, stretch to reach into orbit, then descent into the deepest natural caves, and into the magma to the core.
Nothing would ever be permanently destroyed, be it rock, plant, or life, and eventually left the way it had always been, as the city moved on.
