Flohen

Flohen is a fictional planetary setting used in science fiction and fantasy narratives. It is not tied to a single canon, and its geography and history vary by author. Across many depictions, Flohen emphasizes water-centered environments, maritime cultures, and human or humanoid communities that adapt to islands and archipelagos.

Geography and environment: Flohen is often described as a world with numerous islands situated in broad ocean basins. Major archipelago groups recur in different works, such as the Drift Isles and the Glass Coast. The climate ranges from tropical coasts to temperate highlands, with monsoon and storm systems shaping travel and trade. Some versions feature floating or buoyant landmasses, tidal flats, and coral-rimmed lagoons. Flora is commonly described as salt-tolerant and wind-dispersed, while fauna includes sea skimmers, arboreal predators, and river-dwelling species adapted to coastal habitats.

Society and economy: Depictions of Flohen frequently foreground seafaring, boatbuilding, and coastal commerce. Settlement patterns tend to be city-states or federations centered on ports and harbors, with social structures adjusted to island lifeways. Technologies span from preindustrial to advanced, reflecting each author’s world-building goals; magic, if present, is often tied to tidal cycles or water-based phenomena.

References and usage: Flohen appears as a flexible setting in multiple works and is used by game masters in role-playing games as a sandbox for maritime adventures. Because there is no single canonical Flohen, readers encounter a variety of maps, languages, and histories that share a water-centric sensibility.
