Unlike Tal'Rah that has distinct areas of control, all of Zoda's cities are freeholds controlled by Northlanders that can trace their descendants to the first settlers from Shalzaar...

Imarel Travel Guide - by T.A. Saunders ©2010 v1.2
The Aerie is the last known remaining structure of Van'Su architecture that remains untouched from the Shar'Vaire purging of their people. Thought because their airships could not reach the vast, frozen mountain peek the aerie sat upon, it has remained and forgotten for an age now, save for the few brave adventurers and scholars that attempt to make the treacherous climb up Coldwind Mountain.
Those who have returned from such expeditions tell tales of strange devices that blend science and magic together in almost seamless perfection and of great metal portals, left open and forgotten that lead to a thousand different dimensions. The dangers however, are many in that these same portals that lead to many places are likewise invitations to hostile creatures on the other side who can and have crossed over into Imarel.
Surviving Coldwind Aerie offers a vast boon of strange Van'Su magic that centers largely around planar travel and knowledge of the Multiverse. They were never much for fighting, which is why the Shar'Vaire defeated them so soundly and so quickly, but there are examples of ancient Van'Su armor and weapons that can be found here that tell a tale of a time perhaps that they were not so peaceful.
