This large wooden platform has been constructed along the southern road
of town, and it serves as the launching point for many far away cities of
the world.  With the recent invention of balloon technology, pilots are able
to sail high above the world and navigate to far away places with relative
ease.  Conducted by the Alyrian transportation company, it allows travelers
to ride around the world and get a bird's eye view.  One of the impressive
hot air balloons is tethered to the corner of the platform, ready to lift
off and float gently above the city.
