Nidaria is a floating city that appeared in Remnants of Skystone. Prior to the game's closure, it was where players would buy items and receive Missions.

The Floating City of Nidaria (pronounced /naɪˈdɛəriə/)
From the word Cnidaria; the phylum that contains all species of jellyfish, for which the city was modeled after.
Nidaria was cobbled together during the last two decades before the Mimic haze engulfed the land. It can then be said that work on Nidaria commenced around 20 BH (Before the Haze). Its launching marked a new era of life for the inhabitants of Skystone. This dirigible became a beacon of hope, and the last refuge for man as the land below vanished beneath a thick veil of haze.
At the base level is The Boiler which pumps ether-infused steam to the Bell at the top of the city. The Bell maintains buoyancy and support for all its levels, and acts as a tethered hub for all the surrounding houses. When Nidaria first set sail, The Dock was the only level found above The Boiler. Since that time, more levels have been added to accommodate the growing number of refugees from around the land. While most levels are maintained by the Aeronauts, a few have been built up by both Crags and Ferrics. These welcomed additions add cultural flair to this ever growing, sky-bound city.

Skystone 101: Spores: Spores are found inside the stomachs of Mimics. They are usually left after a Mimic dies off. They are used in Nidaria as currency which reflects your work on the ground. You can use them to buy goods at the town's shops.
Skystone 101: Floats: Floats are the type of housing used in Nidaria. Much like the town, Floats reside in the upper atmosphere of Skystone, safe from the Haze below. Every new recruit gets their own Float that they can decorate and build upon.
Skystone 101: Brass: Brass is the formal currency of Nidaria and its ground based strongholds. Nidarian Brass is emblazoned with the Father of Ingenuity. The symbol of Brass is
