Fumi: Divergence - Devon
Prompt:
Winter winds tossed the fragile house, boards creaking and groaning as the structure fought to stay upright through the ferocious, icy storm. Panes of dirt-stained glass rattled in the window frames, frigid air seeping in through the best attempts to seal them shut. The infant's cries suddenly stopped, a burst of wind washing a thin flurry of snowflakes below the nursery door. The worn face of a weary mother turned back from the fire, alerted to the sudden change. She shut off the radio to confirm her suspicions, the whistle of wind now roaring loudly through the house. In a panic, she threw back the door and raced to the cradle, lifting the baby away from the window, flung open by the hands of the storm. The child cooed gently, curiously studying the mother's face, skin already cold as ice as she pressed him to her bosom and wrapped her shawl tightly around them both, her free hand forcing the window shut once more. She replaced the latch and lifted a heavy iron doorstop, setting it along the frame with dearest intent to keep the window from repeating its folly.
As she retreated to the fireside to warm the little boy, the distant cries of her own infant faded quickly against the cries of the storm - carried off by the fairies, as she began to sing to the changeling child warming gently in her arms.

Devon's world, once that of the fairies, has become now entirely human. His origins lost to the earliest memory, fading visions of a strange land known only to his dreams, he came to know instead the life of a young man. Raised first in a miserable aging farmhouse, but no farmland to call their own, he and his mother came by many ways to make ends meet. A simple vegetable garden, flowers trimmed to sell outside the church on Sundays - working hard for what they could manage. Eventually, the home's disrepair grew too great, and the young family of two had no choice to move on, letting it collapse to the earth once more, cleared away for more farmland - now an field indistinguishable from any other. The two made their way instead to the city, where life quite quickly made a remarkable change.
A homeless shelter was home for a small matter of weeks, until a bright opportunity quickly turned the tides for the pair. A new job for his mother, proper school for himself, and an apartment to call their own. Flowers and herbs grew lush in the kitchen windowsill, the best substitute for a garden now needed only for their own pleasure. Devon spent school days in delight, coming home to warm meals and stories by the radiator, rather than the rickety fireside. He would race friends in the courtyard, climbing the chain-link fences and running through the automated sprinklers. Outdoors he could cause all the trouble he wished, while inside became his place of calm, and quiet. After school, he'd dare his friends to jump from the slide and go down, himself, backwards, awaiting his mother's return from the job to take him home in time for supper.
Now, it was his turn to play parent. Their own cozy home was hardly luxurious, but Devon and Liam did their best to make it so. Over the years, a collection of bright baubles and odd trinkets, perhaps a strange echo of his fae heritage, began to decorate their home, one space at a time. Devon's eagerness to sift through every garage sale bin led to a strange variety of "good deals" becoming fixtures of the household - a bizarre chandelier bright with multicolored false gemstones hung low over the dining room table, each chair at the simple table's side mismatched and unique - intricate cloth patterns to strange carvings of wooden faces, cozied into the small dining room lined with bright tapestries and mirrors. Liam had gone so far as to accuse him of turning the place into a personal vardo, but surely a vardo would have much more cohesive style. Their living room, too, had been draped with colorful rugs and a crystalline coffee table, slightly tarnished candlesticks with multicolored candles, a painted carving of a tropical bird - and of course a good number of shimmering knickknacks adorning every shelf and surface available. Modern appliances found their way into the mix - the television, speakers, game consoles, and the like - but it was without question that Devon's influence had more or less claimed the space. Around the outside of the house, thick rows of blooming flowers rose almost wild in their care, scattered seed assortments overcrowding for a fantastical array of shapes and colors. Many nights, Devon would find himself out on the front step, watching moths dart about the flowerheads, thinking of the flowers of his first home, only now a distant memory.

prompt:


my fumi's live in a medieval, dnd-esque world. they are one of many sentient races. there are normal animals, just as the real world, but there are also fantasy animals such as dragons. my fumi's live in a town by the ocean called Mugwort Cove. it is a small, humble town where all the locals know each other. most of my fumi's have their own shop or business within the town.

samur owns the tavern, called Paws and Plants. they are the bartender, they mainly serve beverages but have a small rotating warm food menu around lunch, breakfast and dinner.

the town gets a lot of travelers and passerbys. the architexture is mainly stone and mudbricks, and the streets are adorned with fresh plantboxes full of colourful flowers. there are also a lot of lifestock running free around, and horses tied at every corner.

the town is mostly populated by fumis, but you can find other races, along with humans, visiting daily. the town is also popular with friendly dragon races, as they get along very well with fumis. the two races have a good history, often being allies. some larger dragon species have mutual agreements with fumis to be a form of transport via flying.

Fumi: giedras
Prompt:

Description:
Giedras and their family run a small family farm. Everyone knows everyone, and it's generally a pretty laid-back atmosphere. There are crops and cattle alike, even a little space for horses further back on the ranch. Giedras and a few of the other people who work with them sleep in the main farm house, one that has been around for at least a hundred years. It's a lot of work, waking up early in the morning, staying out in the fields some days until past sunset. But they wouldn't change it for the world, and they're glad to be able to continue on a family legacy.

When they aren't managing their farm, they often find time to sit back and watch the clouds, or go on leisurely trail rides with some of the horses. It can be hard work, but Giedras enjoys it, and always finds it satisfying to see the harvest in the fall, the crops poking up from the ground when springtime rolls around. Sometimes new animals come to the farm, including ones looking for a foster home; Giedras is happy to help as much as they can, and some of their staff take extra time to help rehabilitate them. There are all sorts of critters running throughout the farm aside from the livestock, most of them being dogs or cats that live out in the barns. Still, Giedras makes sure everyone is taken care of, and at the end of the day it's satisfying.

Fumi: Chidori
Prompt:

When Chidori heard that many fumi were stepping into interdimensional portals to aid Earth and other plants, she respectfully declined. She liked her simple lifestyle and pleasant home filled with familiar faces. Oh, but familiar faces dissolved into unknowing personalities where everyone seemed to be striding 10 paces in front of her when she just wanted to sit still. So beyond the veil she hesitantly travelled, carrying nothing more than a bag with some familiar plants from home. (It took some time to settle down and get used to all the conversations, but it was a trip well worth the effort).

The world she stepped into was utterly loud and the humans she met all seemed to shout from the top of their lungs in order to be heard above the bustle of the crowded streets. Humans display their wares for as far as the eye can see and some of them are friendly too. Despite knowing that all now, Chidori initially ran into the forests to hide from all the loud noises and unfamiliar creatures. There was a small cave for shelter but still there were many sounds. The calls of wild animals and the sound of rushing water filled the silence. This though, was familiar and it was very comforting.

It took a lot of time for her to crawl out of that spot but there were many insects and plants to help herself to in the meanwhile. It could have been fairly lucky that she was not poisoned in the cave. Eventually, two human travellers stumbled across her hidey hole. They were dressed in flowing robes with delicate embroidery and boxes strapped to their backs. They were as spooked as Chidori to find her there but they were unerringly kind. They introduced themselves as gatherers and were looking for plants Chidori happened to reside in. The two humans allowed Chidori to observe them as well. One was able to summon light by writing on a piece of paper so they could explore the dark cave. The other was naturally able to summon light from their hands with a few words. They were both very neat tricks, she had never seen much like it!

Chidori later learned that there were many other forms of magic in the world when she found an abandoned mountain home to live in and recruited townsfolk to help her spruce up the place. They were able to summon winds to cut down trees and carry logs for restoration. A few were even able to form a barrier so that rain wouldn’t soak the area. Though, the concentration needed to focus on larger tasks looked like it took a mental toll. Sweat beaded on the foreheads of humans as they continuously held up the invisible roof.

Her house was made of lacquered black wood with a sloping tiled roof. The inner rooms had sliding doors and polished wood flooring. It was all very elegant in Chidori’s humble opinion. The land in front of her house was cleared and she wanted to cultivate plants. Her homeworld plants were not too hardy so she tended to them inside while she created gardens of flowers and tea leaves. The seasons tended to favour the warmer side so the plants blossomed wonderfully. There were also some frequent winds and seasons of snow but on the whole, it is a rather nice place to live. Since she lives among the mountain slopes, she doesn’t get too many visitors. She must journey down the beaten down trails to sell her plants but it is nice to choose whether she wants to subject herself to human clatter or hide away in her quiet home.

That can be a rather dramatic way to frame it as the town is not that awful. There are many exciting arts and exhibitions in town from cooking to crafting and everything in between. It doesn’t hurt that there are also some fumi that pass by the town so that she can try to befriend them. Moreover, the humans are certainly friendly when they know she means no harm. They know of spirits and even other fumi that were tasked to foster growth with the local plants and animals. She has even taken to enjoying her friends’ recommendations and will trade tea recipes and ingredients as they listen to musicians pluck notes from their instruments. Between brewing tea and promoting growth, it is really an idyllic life.

▀ T H E B E G I N N I N G||
At first their world was bare and cold; a void in the vast emptiness that is space. It wasn't till she appeared where there was any life within this realm, this world, this reality. The almother was embowed with the gifts of creation and thus began her journey in making a robust universe, teaming with life and it's many complexities. She started like all almighty divine beings like herself; a sky, a landmass below it, and the sea that encompass all else. She spent many years craving out the details of this new world as she could not bring herself to overlook anything. From the trees to the various flowers nestled alongside their roots, all of it would be nurtured with the same diligence akin to that of a master artist. Suddenly, there was an overwhelming loneliness that overcame her as she realized she had spent all this time perfecting the most divine domain yet she had no creatures to occupy it; no one to call a companion of her own. From her own body, she took a piece of her rib and drop of her blood to mold her sons into reality. Her first two sentient creations and certainty not the last ( although these were the only two she bore on purpose ). These children of hers would be the first divine among a massive pantheon of gods and goddess, their names being Ramsey and Boole.
At first, their little home was peaceful and lush with new additions being eagerly tagged on by her children. Now the pretty world she built had life in it, creatures small to large all coexisting contently with one another. Times were simple as they loved their mother, they loved each other, they loved the world she built, and most of all she loved them. However, as time went on the brothers' tolerance of each other grew thin and then soon their happy little home was shattered. Previously, the two brothers had no divine correlation to anything in the world as they were simply just her little boys; they didn't need to be anything more than that. With their frenzied fighting however, they become more as they ascended to becoming the physicals aspects of death and war respectfully. She could not bare to watch it, the two loves of her life tearing each other apart all while their destructive war path killed anything unfortunate enough to stand in their way. All she built over the years, the centuries even was all nearly gone within a moments notice. She could not take it anymore as she stood in front of them, their fighting ceasing as neither wished to physically harm their mother who stood in the way of the other's throat. Everywhere she looked their was crimson, spattered on the ground, choking the sky, covering her children, and now flowing from her eyes. With heavy heart, she uttered aloud her love for them and broke apart. Sacrificing her physical form in hopes to fix it all, to perhaps go back to the beginning, to start all over again. In a way it did work, peace was reestablished into the world and her sons bloodlust for one another ceased. However, when she broke apart pieces of her became what are referred to as the elder gods. The sky, the earth below it, as well the sea that encompass all else alongside time in which the world revolves around and the nothingness that this reality occupies. As more new gods joined their ranks they grew into an omnipresent group of gods whose control over their divine element/object/concept transcends multiple realties ( a side effect of the almother's sacrifice ). They exist in the past, the present, and the future. They exist alongside various other great pantheons, mingling with their distant counterparts and dipping their toes into worlds of plenty. In some universe they are revered, in other feared, and in some unknown. Nevertheless, they all belong to theories and theorems.

▀ T H E D O M A I N ||
Every major god has the ability to create a realm that is completely their own and can be subjected to their influence however they wish. Elder gods have the largest and most influential realms in which are often so expansive that mortals and other creatures usually occupy them as well. Only strong gods who are fully in control of their abilities and divinity can conjure as well maintain a domain. These domains will physically reflect aspects of the god themselves being something that is akin to their own personal aesthetic. Entry to a divine's realm is usually asked for but the strong can force themselves in if they wish, the way a god may restrict access or attempt to keep intruders out varies from immortal to immortal. Nevertheless, nobody wanders into a god's domain mistakenly; mortal or immortal.

▀ F A T E || Nero ;;
----- · Nero being a new blood god doesn't have a domain of his own, he's neither strong enough ( or even knows/can control his own powers ) to conjure and maintain such a thing. Instead he occupies his adoptive father's nor is he the only full-blooded god to do so. Besides him, the god of knowledge known as Shakespeare and his adoptive father's only muse ( a title simply meaning a god's chosen/champion who are usually divinely blessed or cursed by their patron god ) also live in this pocket dimension. Furthermore, it may not be their own creation but these three all have special privileges in this zone and can even influence it's appearance slightly.
----- · As it is the domain of time Nero occupies, it has a rather complex and ever changing aesthetic to it. The easiest way to describe it would be to relate it some of the works done by M. C. Escher. In which there is a never ending cycle of doors, stairs, and pathways which to a causal visitor lead seemingly nowhere. This done on purpose ( besides to serve as complex motif for Khan to annoy his son with ) it's main purpose is to keep out strong intruders, those being who can see/break the barriers the elder god has laid down to keep the regular mortal folk out. It's very rare there is a mortal ( or even an immortal who dares enter another's domain without requesting ) but it's not impossible and Khan rather be safe than sorry.
----- · Nero and Shakespeare have both influenced ( and possibly even heavily pestered the elder god for even more direction ) the domain in a similar manner. Both of them have a mutual love of knowledge, Nero as it helps him navigate the fickle thing that is fate by learning of the mistakes, circumstances, and choices of the past so that he usher in a better destiny for the future. While Shakespeare being an embodiment of knowledge, wishes to the preserve as much information as possible for generation after generation. What a better place to have such sensitive and vase data filed away than in the realm of an elder god ? Either way, Nero is always within the central library of the domain his head buried deep in a book of some kind and he's never alone in this regard.
----- · For the three beings that occupy the realm ( not including the master of it ) they all have the ability to freely walk around the space as when they do the world around them will morph into a much more "friendly" appearance. Something less akin to a surrealist painting and more clean and organized. This arranged state that they view still has a regal feel to it, like a massive castle with marble structures ascending it up towards a sunless sky. None of them ever encounter the ceaseless stairs and never-ending pathways that a intruder would see at first glance. They only know the space as a safe area with white walls and shining quartz.
----- · Nero's love of plants has begun to take shape with the domain. He refused to admit it aloud his soft spot for greenery, having previously nurture local plant-life on his ventures outside his father's realm. Always going the extra mile to make sure they are beaming or won't be destroyed by a random act of nature. These actions didn't go unseen and his father quickly began to gather a collection for his son to fawn over in the privacy of their own home. Once cornered off the one room in the realm ( Khan's office ) the by-product of being placed within the domain of time has had an affect on the plants. They've grown so large and wild that their leaves, roots, and branches extended far throughout the domain. Regardless, Nero certainly isn't complaining.
----- · Nero's favorite place ( even over the library ) would be Khan's office. Vastly different than the rest of the rooms within the domain, here nothing is stark white but the polar opposite. Black furniture decorates the space and a hazy smoke lingers in the air, twirling around whomever is in the room as if it has a mind of it's own. A odd warmth occupies the room, perhaps that because the only times he's been inside has been with his father ( and then the warmth would be the other not the room itself ). Regardless, although the plants have originally come from this room the concentration of divine power within it keeps it so that they visually have their normal appearance. However, the entrance to the office truly looks like a jungle.
----- · Lastly Khan's domain is one of the very few that isn't locked to a certain space/area ( it can however be anchored to a spot if Khan wishes it to be ) and could be any where; as it's a pocket dimension. The way that Nero and his companions enter/leave the domain is via the use of an item that's Khan gifted them. For Nero, it's the pocket watch that he treasures with all his heart.
[ 840 ]

▀ H E A L I N G || Hoshi ;;
----- · Hoshi although being a new blood god has grown into his divinity fast, he felt the need to being the embodiment of healing. As how could he help any one if he was weak, if he could barely help himself ? Therefore he is one of the only ones in the new generation who can conjure and maintain a domain. Although his is flawed compared the older and elder gods, seeing as his emotions/thoughts control him which then shows within the domain for better or worse. This is primary reason why nobody else is allowed inside as it's the only place in the whole wide world where he allowed to break down his façade and vent his bottled up emotions. He wouldn't want anyone, mortal or immortal to see what he looks during a breakdown not that they could as the domain would likely tear them apart before they got too close.
----- · The visage of Hoshi's domain is something surprisingly picturesque when he is stable. The sky is a dull shade of purple/blue mimicking something akin to a night sky minus the various stars, this extends as far as the eye can see drawing you towards the very center. In which a large ancient-like cherry blossom tree seemingly appears to grow out of the water of a enormous lake, there is no land to walk upon only water occupies this space. The only time the water moves is when the koi inside of it jump out in delight at their master's return, the small koi don't disturb the water or the giant lily pads floating alongside them. The whale sized koi that lurk in the deepest parts of the lake however cause huge waves when them come tumbling back down towards their dark waters.
----- · Instead of stars to litter the dark sky of his domain, Hoshi has lanterns that float around the air. Centering mostly around the tree, these lanterns are not normal paper crafts. They all represent a plead from a mortal, asking for Hoshi's personal assistance or blessing in some matter. Even inside his domain he can't escape his divine duty and the shear amount of lanterns that usually loom inside the space often overwhelm him. Over time he's learn to numb himself to the cries as unfortunate it is to say ( and unacceptable to note ) he can't save everyone and only trying to will get himself killed.
----- · The only creatures that occupy the space besides Hoshi are the koi that swim feverishly through the waters. There are thousands of them ( if not more ) from fry to whale-sized and all different colors/variations. These fish don't need to eat as a by-product of swimming in Hoshi's pond and are also immortal, unable to die of old age this already long living species can now grow to insane limits. He adores his koi as well and they feel mutually, they will rush to his side when he reemerges into his domain flinging themselves out of the water in joy at their master's return. He's begun to notice a sort of routine or formation to the way they leap as if they are dancing for him and his heart swells with love at the realization.
----- · Hoshi is a natural swimmer yet within his realm he has the ability to walk on the water if he so chooses; which often he does as there are days where he doesn't feel like getting swarmed by his precious fish friends. If anyone else were to enter his realm they would not have this ability and would have to proof themselves a good swimmer if they wish to reach the great tree.
----- · Throughout Hoshi's domain a song soft plays, its a song that no matter how hard one may tries to place it feels impossible to think of the name or even who wrote it. It will always just softly echo in the background no matter where in the area as there is no specific origin of the music it's just there.
----- · Lastly, at the base of the great tree Hoshi has built a small shrine to the rain goddess Nephele. He refused to decorate it lavishly or make it some great statue to their divinity, believing that they would much prefer just active prayer over a surface-level display of devotion. Furthermore, the first action he takes when he enters his domain and crosses the lake to the great tree is to kneel before the shrine to pray. When he does, his shrine's environment changes for the rest of the time he occupies it as it will begin to softly rain upon him.
[ 772 ]

▀ H U N G E R || Edison ;;
----- · Unlike the other two ( Nero and Hoshi ), Edison is not a god and instead a muse of the harvest god ( also known as the physical representation of earth ) and doesn't have his own domain. Instead he lives inside his father's vast forest, a dense jungle that could rival and outshine the likeness of both the Amazon and California Redwood Forests combined. Every type of tree and plant imaginable grows inside these woodlands as their growth is nurtured and enhanced by the close proximity of the harvest god.
----- · There isn't a single place inside his father's domain that he doesn't know the pinpoint location of and not be able to reach on foot within minutes. Whether this is because of his own memory or if the forest is somehow rearranging itself for his convince, nobody knows; it's still impressive nonetheless. Needless to say, Edison could never get lost in the forest even when he was young he always just naturally new his way around or at least towards his adoptive father.
----- · Due to how vast his father's domain is a lot of wildlife occupies it and Edison has found himself friends to all the creatures of the forest. Nothing that lives inside his father's domain would ever harm him or even fear him, they all see him kindly or even sometime like their own kind/child. Often when he lounges inside a nice patch of wildflowers or a rock that has been beamed on by the sun all day for a good ol' after snack nap. Some of the smaller prey animals will come up towards his sleepy frame, nestle under his arms or legs and rest alongside as they know they are safe while near him. As even the fiercest predators that loom in the forest's darkest corner would never dare try any action that would harm or upset the harvest muse.
----- · At various outskirts of the forest there are a handful of small towns or growing cities that Eddie has found himself drawn too. Slowly but surely he's began to explore these "mortal" places finding that each area is very different than the last from the people who live in them to the buildings themselves. Eddie simply finds all the little things that mortal do just silly !!
----- · As Eddie is a rather gluttonous being, driven pretty much by his stomach and his stomach alone. Wherever there is food, is somewhere he'll find himself front and center. Luckily, due to his father's divinity he's able to get away with some pretty terrible table manners. Before he was taught that no he shouldn't just go and wander into any restaurant and eat their freezer clean out for the next couple of weeks; he just kind of did whatever he liked in the local town and was seen as a menace. He's since then apologize to locals for his behaviors, seeing the error in his actions and makes sure to either offer rare herbs or spices ( that can only be found in his father's domain ) and even sometimes a huge harvest of fresh fruits/vegetables for a delish meal !!
----- · Speaking of restaurants, Edison's second home has become the fine dining establishment that his good friend Carson works in ( although it could be argued that being next Carson is just generally a homey feel to Eddie ). The one thing he loves the most when he wanders into the eatery is the various smells that literally come cuddle up to his noise and rip a vicious growl from his stomach. He can place every single spice, herb, fruit and vegetable that is being cooked up; sometimes Carson quizzes him just to test his knowledge.
----- · Lastly, as his father is an elder god whose power has near no limits in the world. His domain is always expanding, although he ensures the local towns/cities never get consumed by the plants and happily co-exist . This especially so because of his special interaction with plants due to the divine blood he carries. As he often nomadically wanders, unable to find himself happy in staying in one specific location within the borders of his own forest. He always finds himself moving forward and often when he does his body brushes against various plants. It's this touch that has a impressive influence, allowing the various greenery to grow enormous in a short amount of time so that they too can join the ranks of various foliage trailing behind him.

Fumi: Neiđ-Ka
Prompt:


Neiđ-Ka and their family live on the island continent of Texaustralias - a large landscape full of diverse biomes and big personalities. They live on the outskirts of Jen Enhunou, a bit out of the way for visitors, but when one runs an exotic animal sanctuary you need all the space you can get.

Jen Enhunou is roughly a three hour drive from the coast, so any trip to the seaside is an adventure and vacation for this prickly family. There is also a biome change during this drive - the coast in this area is subtropical with the southern island and a strip of land to the northeast being full on tropical areas. Jen Enhunou finds itself in the drier grasslands, not too dissimilar from a savannah.

The exotic animal sanctuary Neiđ-Ka and Daiya run is a safe haven for animals of all kinds, but especially so for animals illegally kept as pets or traded on black markets. They home everything from pangolins and meerkats, to qirins and cockatrices. They are not pets - as the are rehabilitated if possible and treated with respect. Large sprawling fields and enclosures full of enrichment cover their property.

The center of Texaustralias is covered by dry shrublands and desert, with a mountain range to the western coast and a peculiar cliff face that extends for much of the northwestern coast. There are noticeably fewer cities here, as not many fancy living in the dry heat and the lack of other contact. Simply living in the dry grasslands is considered almost rural - living to the northwest is rather isolated.
That isn't to say that the Texaustralian deserts are entirely devoid of life - the biome here is absolutely thriving.

But Neiđ-Ka is rather content living on the outskirts of Jen Enhunou with their beloved Daiya and the most precious of prickly babies, Ibu and Izel. It is, after all, home.

Prompt:


haeon is a large planet with two suns - ero and yre - and seven moons - etsum, velt, phyr, klov, weyr, mynk, and renalt. each moon reflects colorful fractals like a mirror of the aurora borealis of earth. the days are hot, while the nights are freezing and cast in a rainbow of color. a great sea splits the earth into two large continents, and there are three floating islands of note capable of supporting life. the sea is nearly black with its depths, almost darker than the darkest nights and far more teacherous.

great cities as far as the eye could see made up more than half of the planet but that was over a thousand years ago. now jungles have overgrown these ancient places and one should be very careful when exploring unmarked paths. many a traveler has fallen beneath the jungle into the sleeping, dead cities below and theyre never seen again. adventurers, explorers, and the like all travel in groups of three or more - usually accompanied by a warlock or sorcerer of some sort.

all manner of beasts inhabit the dead cities - dragon creatures with three heads, hounds that walk in shadow, snakes the color of gold with no end. sea monsters lurk beneath the waves, mermaids lure prey from the coasts, and giant wyverns terrorize ships. the jungles are filled with predators and old, forgotten magic. huge birds fly above the dense jungle canopy - the color of fire - and they make quick prey of any predator foolish enough to be seen. this world is a dangerous one, not for the weak of mind or spirit.

the largest floating city - uweyt - supports more than one hundred thousand citizens. odd plant life weaves the base of the island, the entire thing one living organism. the top player of the island breaks down over time, forming a layer of soil similar to the main continent. it is rich in nutrients and can support many crops. the island itself gathers its nutrients from the ocean waters though a scientist or two has speculated that the floating islands will occasionally consume ocean life.

magic is known throughout the island of uweyt. small spells and charms are most common, and healing spells and potions are a close second. larger magic spells and rituals were lost with the dead cities - either buried beneath the rubble, lost in the depths, or crumbled to dust. many of these lost spells and magic were forbidden due their unknown nature, and many more were purposefully wiped from haeon's history by the main government of uweyt. some things were better left forgotten.

the second largest floating island - gava - is a much more lax society. they allow more magic, though much less of the population is capable of reaching it. it is the only floating island that stays within a short boat trip to the continent. no one knows why the floating island remains despite swift and unforgiving currents but its not like anyone could ask. the population of gava is around half of uweyt. their main exports are fruit and medicines from the continent.

the third floating island - dweyt - is a series of connected smaller islets. it is sparsley inhabited and for good reason - the islets are unstable and still forming. many smaller wildlife live on the islets including a small dragon creature with the softest downy fur - a pogwall. theyre often tamed as companions to the adventurers of uweyt as the dragon creatures can be taught to start fires on command.

there is much gold to be had uncovering the mysteries of the dead cities. elites of society will pay handsomely for new spells no matter how untested or unstable. and artifacts go for nearly twice as much. its not uncommon for the sale of a single artifact to elevate a lowly commoner and their entire family to midclass status. suddenly parties are on the agenda instead of harvesting crops.

strange beings live beneath the floating islands - beings that scare off vengeful mermaids, and give giant krakens a run for their money. none of the population has ever seen the beings - but theyve seen the after effects of their intimidation tactics and recorded some of the sounds. even the birds of the jungle avoid the floating islands, and the three headed dragons stay well and clear.
