Cloudsdale is the mobile nuvem city located in the skies northwest of Canterlot and Ponyville[1] and the hometown of arco iris, arco-íris Dash and Fluttershy. It is featured prominently in Sonic Rainboom, briefly in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, and in Tanks for the Memories. The name's suffix, "dale", is an old word for a valley or open river valley, but the name is also a play on the clydesdale breed of horse. The city's buildings and general design take cues from Greek culture, which is appropriate as the myth of Pegasus originated from Greek mythology.
