Barak-Nar, the City of the First Dawn, is the eldest of the great sky-ports of the aether-faring duardin, a colossal fortress-city that hangs suspended in the churning skies of the Realm of Metal. Its endrin-riggers were among the first to master the buoyant aether-gold that lifts whole cities into the clouds, and its name is spoken with respect in every port from Chamon to the far reaches of the realms.

Home to the Kharadron Overlords, Barak-Nar is famed above its sister sky-ports for learning as much as for wealth. Its scholars pore over the sacred Kharadron Code, its navigators chart the treacherous aether-currents, and its admirals command ironclad fleets that trade, prospect, and plunder across the length of the skies. Where other ports chase only profit, Barak-Nar prizes knowledge as a currency of its own.

Yet even the wisest city is not spared the perils of the age. Sky-krakens and Chaos raiders haunt the aether-lanes, rival sky-ports scheme over disputed claims, and the ever-hungry storms of the realms can shatter an unwary fleet in moments. Barak-Nar answers with disciplined gunnery and centuries of hard-won cunning, defending its floating vaults against all comers. It endures as the grey-bearded elder of the sky-ports, proof that in the endless dark between the clouds, foresight is worth more than gold.
