It is composed of four separate zones, each with a separate purpose. These four zones are connected by portal networks, although most of the denizens here can fly under their own power.

	The closest area of the City to the World Core, the Machinarium holds the forges, production facilities, and workshops of the 4th legion of the 1st Host. A spherical volume covered in buildings and chasms, it is home to the millions of devils belonging to the Territory of Thoraz as well. From here, portals link to the Host's outposts throughout the Dream and to the Elemental Planes of Fire and Earth for each of the planets. It is said that the entire area is one gigantic machine--it is certain that it rearranges itself from time to time.

	The Celestial City is at the center of the Dream. As such space is oddly distorted, especially near the World Core. Up and down are strange--no matter your orientation around the parts of the Core, the rest of the city is always above you. The whole city is sheathed in about a mile (from the closest obstruction) of breathable, flyable air (really anima that behaves like air). Once you leave that bubble gravity no longer applies. Within that bubble, things are drawn to the plane of the World Core. If you were to fall, you'd yo-yo back and forth, eventually (slowly) coming to a rest on the level of the Core.
