Recognizing the danger of fixed authority at altitude,
Velkar’s major holds established the Chain Council.

Leadership rotated based on access and stability.
Membership required proven judgment under risk.

This system allowed Velkar to coordinate
without anchoring power to any single spire.

At this stage, Velkar deliberately avoided naming a permanent capital. That role would later be assumed by Zhirveth’s Roost,
once the Spires accepted the necessity of a single enduring anchor.
