The Rise

The Rise is the period in which the city stopped building outward and built up — level on level, until the highest levels stood above the weather and were given a name of their own.

Everything in the present order dates from the Rise or excuses itself by it: the Authority's charter, the registry, the cloud line itself as a border.
