It serves as the capital of the Caiaos Claw of the Sefenlands, the Dragonclaws Region of the Sefenlands, and the East Wing of the Sefenlands, with the only Sefenlander cities of any more importance being White-Sphinx, and Apadaitaisi City. Caiastopolis is known for its small, white, square buildings, which are dwarfed by the Thrimonus, its three monuments: the Great Sphinx of Caiaos, the Great Ziggurat of Messink, and the Termite Tower. These three are built on a single diagonal line; the Ziggurat lies at the center of the city, with the whole city radiating away from it symmetrically. The Sphinx lies to the Ziggurat's northwestern corner on a square platform exactly 1/4 as large, and 1/16 as tall as the Ziggurat. The Sphinx is red, and her breasts weep blood. The Sphinx itself is exactly 1/2 as tall as the Ziggurat. Between the northwestern corner of the Sphinx's platform, and the viewing platforms beneath the Termite Tower is the main road of Caiaostopolis, full of markets, shops, parks, and fountains. The Termite Tower is tilted towards the sea, if not, it would be the tallest structure in the Sefenlands. It - in contrast to the Sphinx, and Ziggurat, which are both red, and brown, and white - is aquamarine, yellow, and black. It is home to the largest nightfire on this Earth, the Eye of Messink, which is said to watch over Sefenlander sailors, and look out for the Sefenlands' enemies. It is the seat of the House of Castaia, who live within the Great Ziggurat of Messink.
