Cloudspire, also known as "the City that Begins and Ends", is one of the ancient dwarven Sky Citadels built by the Mbe'ke after the conclusion of the Quest for Sky.1

Geography

Cloudspire is located in the Terwa Uplands region of the Mwangi Expanse. It is a massive, bustling city-state that serves as the spiritual and cultural heart of the Mbe'ke dwarves. From the outside, Cloudspire resembles little more than a massive, fist-like mountain; only a keen eye will spot the roads winding their way up the side of the peak and into gatehouses cut directly into the mountain. Only from above can the city's immense architecture truly be appreciated. The entire mountain has been effectively cored, excavated out into an enormous hollow thousands of feet across with the city of Cloudspire built directly around and into the sides of this colossal space.1 At the centre of Cloudspire sits the Wellspring, a midnight-blue pool of crystal clear water that is believed to connect to the sunken rivers and oceans of the Darklands.2
