| abstract | - Medlenn is the capital city of the Snout of Estlenn, and the westernmost town with a population over 100,000 on this Earth. Lantonne has a population of 96,500, and is slightly more west than Medlenn. Medlenn is gigantic, sprawling an absolutely enormous mountain valley. The land below it is thin, and prone to dragonstirs, and so most of its buildings are very short save for Ulek's Skywar, a trapezoidal fighting pit whose roof is the very sky of the world. Here, man and beast alike are made to fight. The most important battle that takes place here is Shakak Catcut v. the Morningstar (Mowik Tha was his birth name, and the Snoutmen did not translate or bother to pronounce it correctly). The pit's care is funded by bloodthirsty spectators. Prisoners, slaves, and poor foreigners are brought here to fight each other, and beasts and even beastly humans. These beasts include ice lions, Sayerthenner scorpions, sandworms, wooly rhinos, mammoths, orange bears, lionmen, elephants, dwarf elephants, morningstars, longmen, giants, pitmoose, snouters, Crahish shepherds, and even tallmen; the Black Kings of Wheeltonne. The city is unusually cold, as the earth below it is thin and allows for the Æther.
