Skylands

Skylands refers to a fictional world composed of floating islands suspended in the sky. These islands vary greatly in size, from small rocky outcrops to massive continents supporting diverse ecosystems and civilizations. The origin of the Skylands is often attributed to a cataclysmic event in the world's past, which shattered the original landmass and sent its fragments drifting into the atmosphere. Gravity in the Skylands typically functions normally on each individual island, but the spaces between them are vast expanses of air, often filled with clouds, mist, or powerful atmospheric currents.

Travel between Skylands is a significant aspect of life in this world. Various methods are employed, including airships powered by advanced technology or natural phenomena, domesticated flying creatures, and often dangerous, daring leaps across perilous gaps. The resources available on each Skyland can differ dramatically, leading to trade, conflict, and unique cultural developments based on what materials and environments are accessible. Some islands might be rich in rare ores, while others are fertile agricultural centers. The constant threat of falling into the void below, or the dangers of navigating the unpredictable skies, shapes the societies and individuals who inhabit the Skylands. Lore surrounding the Skylands often includes tales of ancient sky-dwelling beings or forgotten civilizations that once mastered the art of manipulating the very fabric of the world.
