Air clubs are usually split into two types leisure clubs and competitive clubs.

Architecture
The cities of Archni are highly dense filled with unusually colorful skyscrapers connected by bridges and rail cars. Archnian cities do not suffer the large urban sprawl due to the Archnian belief of higher elevation means more spiritual clarity.Villages and town centers are condensed into several sky scrapers.Thus small buildings or signle story buildings are a rare sight.However military, Industry ,and agriculture though remains less affected because of impracticality of such verticality. Skyscrapers are also bird friendly with large perches and external gardens, the unusual coloring is to ensure collisions dont occur.Though sadly the real state market inside Archni is quite expensive due to verticality
