Ventside

Ventside is Bezu's precarious over-layer, a network of self-supporting pipes reaching into and arcing across the sky. It is generally sparsely populated, with cities arising only in areas dense with tubes. Some vents also attract halfling villages, odd, hive-like structures that hang off of individual pipes and can be visible from miles away.

Ventside has no government to speak of, a testament to both how thin-spread it is and to the somewhat alien personalities of its inhabitants. Wavesiders and Heartsiders tend to find Ventsiders disaffecting, and it's very rare for people to move up there.

Inhabitants

Elves, aarakocra, and halflings are native to Ventside.

Elves are found most in Ventside cities, chaotic and ever-changing nests of pipes kept aloft by no discernible means whatsoever. These cities are often above islands, which means that there is some emigration between elves and Wavesiders in population centers.

Aarakocra live in family nests on isolated pipes. They generally keep to themselves. Culturally they are best known as the originators of Windwhistle, a long-distance language adopted by seafaring Wavesiders.

Halflings live in hive villages hanging off of certain pipes. They mostly come Waveside as part of a coming-of-age tradition, although in recent years more have been moving down permanently.
