Serraine... To begin, it is best to look at the birth of the city itself. Serraine began as an idea over a thousand years ago by some of the more imaginative gnomes of Mystara: a flying city powered by both magic and technology. That dream is now a reality and a haven for all manner of beings.

As well as being a merchant's and librarian's dream, by it's very nature Serraine is cosmopolitan, not just as a meeting place for traders and scholars, but a home to those who want a place where they belong.

Serraine has always been open and relaxed about who enters its gates, (not that it has any, merely railings to prevent falling to one's death). It has perhaps, the greatest variety of races known to Mystara as both visitors and inhabitants.

Nowhere else can one find pegataur paladins, a cloud giant labourer, technically-minded gnomes, musical winged elves (faenare), ambitious humans and a floating skull as the city's librarian?

Among the city's delights are the requisite flying ships (sometimes powered by elementals), a vast library, the Tumbling Fields (a zero-gravity area), pegataur jousts, and the ability to readily order what you can't buy on the spot, thanks to the city's mobility.
