Silver City (AoC Universe)

The Silver City was the most famous city in the High Heavens, even more so than Aurealis, the home of the gods. It was built by the Garor (AoC Universe), and revered by all existing races at the time for its beauty - particularly the attractive luster of its metallic walls - and the harmonious singing of the lyres, whose voices filled the golden skies of the Heavens with joyful verse.

Duterius, the Archangel of Valour, once described the Silver City as the "epitome of civilisation", for he considered it to be the "gold standard" of settlement building. Ironically enough, the city was mostly made out of a less valuable metal. For all its glory though, the City wasn't intended as an exclusive settlement for any type of angel - instead, it was more general purpose - the site of the Heavenly Host, the storage area of the Holy Pages, and the conferencing rooms of the gods - as opposed to the more living-orientated cities of Aurealis, Aesheim and Vanaheim.

Geography
The Silver City was the first and foremost city in the High Heavens, the very first serious settlement in the entire realm. It lies to the very south of the Heavens. The nearest city after it was Vanaheim, a few miles to the east, while Aesheim and Seraphimar were dotted a way off to the west. In the very north was the gated community of Aurelias, which all non-gods were forbidden to enter (with the exceptions of Anariel and Duterius of the Aesir, to deliver crucial messages).

Because of its significance to the angiris, Sargamon attacked this city first, and spared no brick in its destruction. Desperate to prevent the Silver City from falling, the Aesir ordered an all-out defence. Having fooled them completely, Sargamon used this smoke screen to sneak round the back of Heaven and enter the Holy Sanctuary, where he promptly murdered the gods in cold blood.
