Cosmology
The world formed naturally, according to the laws of the Milky Way. Over billions of years, ejected star material coallesced into a planet and its single moon. Life evolved from bacteria carried to the planet from cold space when a rare stellar collision of not two, but THREE comets sent ejecta into the atmosphere. This ejecta gave life to the planet.
The continent was once a single large landmass, but was carved into several large pieces when the dragons, in order to take the power of deep magic away from the peoples who had grown to abuse it, ripped from the land the deep veins of crystal thatformed the ancient, powerful ley lines.
In a later age, the wrath of the dragons again changed the face of the world when dragonfire let loose an ocean of water that had been previously locked in an underground glacier. Thus, the oceans rose and further divided the continent into the current fractured mass of islands separated by dangerously shallow straights.
Principal Geography & Features
The span of the continent's islands stretches a bit over 5,000 miles north-south, reaching from just above the arctic circle, to just beyond the equator.
Islands. Lots and lots of islands. Almost everyone knows how to both swim and sail. Only the most out-of-touch, spoiled examples of the upper classes have avoided water entirely in favor of airship travel.
Few people live an entire day's journey from the coast of their island.
A toxic, volcanic wasteland to the southwest of the continent, known as the Caldera, is slowly poisoning the sea and several islands in its vicinity.
