====Geo-City-One====

: 35,000

A one km wide geodesic dome built in the remains of the ''Faboai Valley'', '''GC1''' is the largest active settlement in low altitude. Built 90 years ago at the start of the Era of Peace, GC1 is a marvel of design and engineering. Innovative pressure seals and state of the art anti-corrosive panels insulate the structure from Dynae’s hostile atmosphere.

====Kinngait====

: 250,000

In the equatorial mountain range of ''Śikhara'', a bowl-shapped city lies between three mountains. Kinngait, originally a mining town at the base of the largest of the surrounding peaks, ballooned into a minor metropolis when the planet’s atmosphere soured. Those that could not afford or find space on ships leaving the surface trekked up into the mountains to Kinngait. It was estimated that millions of Dynaeans attempted the journey, but only a few hundred thousand arrived to the relative safety of the Kinngait basin. The survivors faced decades of starvation and malnourishment but managed to persist with the aid of Whai pirates who sequestered

: 450,000

A city in the sky, Tīnarā is the largest single settlement in Teuthem space. While the exact population count is not tracked, almost half a million people are presumed to reside on the station. It was once a stepping stone from the spaceport on the old Dynaean capital and the exodus from the surface during The Final Discordance and the Great Cataclysm resulted in the expansion of the station into a fully fledged settlement.

The city-station is built around a core spire designed with a rotating cylinder of habitation blocs and microgravity spaces. Rapid additions and expansions created a labyrinth of corridors and peripheral wings, with much of the station not experiencing artificial gravity. The majority of the station is comprised of ships and containers permanently fused and welded to old docking ports that now face internal areas.

====Stjarnaby====

:200,000

This sister station of Tīnarā orbits Dynae an average of 80 km (50 mi) higher. A more spacious station, Stjarnaby was expanded more slowly and additional living spaces were carefully planned. Ninety percent of habitation blocs and common areas are rotating and under the influence of artificial gravity. Visitors to Dynae are recommended to dock at Stjarnaby as it is similar to other space stations in the sector, although Whai may complain that it lacks some of the local flavor of [[The Rangi]].

===High Orbit===

====Ulfbert Magnus====

: 15,000

Up in geo-stationary orbit, Ulfbert Magnus was once a military outpost for past Dynaean governments. A large space dock and shipyard, the station was at its height able to amass interstellar combat fleets in merely a few months. Today it is best known as a pirate base affiliated with the Tahora Whai, but maintains its legacy of ship construction; most Dynaean whaling ships larger than a corvette are built in the void-docks of Ulfbert Magnus. Ship styles vary considerably from salvaged commonwealth freighters, to bespoke Tahora inspired bio-framed frigates, to jury-rigged scrap ships that can just about keep their atmosphere.

==Ghost Towns==

The scouring of the planet wiped many cities off the map. Some folks have returned to these lost urban spaces to rebuild, but few have success.

====Kyrolisilport====

Founded by [[Strigo]] colony ships 750 years ago in the ''Kyrolisil Delta''. The city was a major agricultural hub and was led by a council of elder's known as the ''Parliament of Kyrol''.

During the great cataclysm explosive shockwaves drove a tsunami through the city sundering its many towers. Aftershocks collapsed a cliff face inland and redirected the local river several kilometers north. Subsequent deterioration of the atmosphere salted the once verdant and plentiful fields. Reclamation of the city is believed to be a lost cause. Scavenging over the past 300 years have left it a crumbling husk.
