Cloudopolis is a floating city made of clouds above the Heartlands. Most of the city is supported by a main cloud body, except for the Cloudoseum, which is built on its own cloud. The main cloud body can vary greatly in elevation, often causing distinct landmarks to be blocked from view.

While all three pony races can stand on clouds in Cloudopolis, it is still possible to fall off the edge of clouds. Players who do so will respawn in the center of town near Cloudopolis Academy with no ill-effects.

Getting there

Cloudopolis is connected to Cantermore via the docked airship Splashcloud. The same airship dock also contains a portal to The Heartlands.

A Cloudopolis Teleport Crystal also enables instant access to Cloudopolis from anywhere in Equestria.

Northeast of the city's central pavilion lies the airship platform with the airship Splashcloud next to it, providing portals to both The Heartlands and Cantermore. A roadway connects the platform to the northern region of the city. For players seeking quicker transport to the heart of Cloudopolis, a shortcut portal can be accessed by climbing down stairs to the maintenance level beneath the airship platform.

Places of interest

Cloudopolis Academy

The academy in southeastern Cloudopolis

Cloudopolis Academy is where new pegasus players spawn. A cluster of buildings are situated next to a short runway, which appears to be for an aerial track marked by floating cloud rings near the academy. Players can occasionally be seen flying around the aerial track, competing for the fastest lap time.

Cloudopolis Dojo

The dojo in Cloudopolis can be found in the northwestern edge of the city, built on the highest point of Cloudopolis' main cloud body. A waterfall which pours over the city's edge can be found here.

Rainbow waterfall

The rainbow waterfall, feeding into a river

Situated on the northern region of the city is a cascading waterfall of liquid rainbow. The flow originates from a reservoir on a cloud higher up, which can only be reached by flight. Players can swim within the liquid rainbow as they would with regular water. While in the rainbow pool, players can recolor items without the need for Rainbow Ink. Alternatively, players with empty vials may also collect Rainbow Ink to use at a later time.

Cloudoseum

The Cloudoseum is a large stadium located off the main body of clouds, linked by a shortcut portal. The arena in the stadium is entirely hollow, facilitating flight movements within. The stadium is sometimes used for community-led pegasus flight shows.

Weather Factory

Several structures in the Weather Factory

The Weather Factory is a multi-tiered complex found near the rainbow waterfall. Narrow, winding pathways connect different rooms in the weather factory, all of which serve specific purposes such as producing rainbows or clouds.

Miscellaneous

• Bank: A branch of the National Bank of Equestria can be found south of the Weather Factory.
• Workbench: An Artisan workbench can be found underneath the airship dock.
• Forges: Two Artisan Forges can be found at the Cloudopolis Armorer, west of the bank.
• Ovens: Ovens can be found in some of the residential houses in the city.
• Secret alcove: Hidden within the clouds, beneath the western corner of Cloudopolis is a small alcove accessible only through flight, or extremely skilled unicorn teleportation. Several seat cushions, a table, lamppost and a well can be found here.

Trivia

• The city was first made accessible to the public in January 2014, during the third Open Server Event.
• "Although, it is impossible for Earth ponies 'alone' to go/reach places like Secret Alcove or the top of Rainbow Waterfalls, you can however ask a pegasus friend to help carry you there, make sure your collision is on."
