The Citadel of Ice and Steel was the center of all major djinni activity within the Elemental Plane of Air.[1]

Geography[]

This citadel was actually a gigantic chunk of elemental ice and earth, smoothed over time by the winds into a nearly perfect oval. The Great Caliph's palace was located in the center.[1]

The entire citadel was constantly free-falling, based on the caliph's will. Thus, the only kind of movement possible within the citadel was flight.[1]

Any creature incapable of flight or hovering was constantly buffeted by wind from djinn guards while they were in audience with the Great Caliph.[2]

Government[]

The Great Caliph and his court issued decrees and collected taxes, but the citadel did not produce tangible products.

Defenses[]

The noble djinn had several elite military organizations that they could call upon if the Court of Ice and Steel was threatened, including:[1]

Inhabitants[]

Djinn and noble djinn, along with elemental servants of air inhabited the citadel.[1]

Rumors and Legends[]

The djinn claimed to have overthrown Imix, the Prince of Elemental Evil, and claimed the citadel for their own.[1]
