Ocotlan
At the centre of the Floating Isles is Ocotlan. It is a forested, humid region north of Ignosi and Akuzo. Ocotlan is centred around Flora and the Natuzans worship the Flora Dragon. The region itself is made up of two islands: Ocotlan Island and Adventure Island. Ocotlan Island is the larger of the two islands, and is where most tribes live.
Ocotlan is mostly rainforest, and many people live in the canopies. The trees can grow to 60 metres, and many Natuzans have built platforms on the trees to live on. The reason they don't live on the rainforest floor is to avoid the wild animals that would disturb them or hunt them. However, people do go down during the day to hunt animals and bring them back to their tribes. If they want to travel through the canopies, the Ocotlan will use their Elemental Arcana to swing through the branches. They have wings, but most people choose not to use them after they learn to fly.
Islands
Most people live on Ocotlan Island, which is the larger of the two islands. But in the past, many used to live on Adventure Island. At the time, their numbers were smaller and the island could meet their needs. They used the larger island to grow crops and as a storage facility to sustain the lives of the people on Adventure Island. But, during the Age of Triumph, the population grew and people started destroying the rainforest. By the time of the Sentinel War, a large chunk of Adventure Island's rainforest was gone, and so the Ocotlan Elders had to persuade people to move to the larger island. Now their roles are reversed: Adventure Island is used for growing crops, while Ocotlan Island is used for housing people.Inhabitants
The Natuzans that live on both Ocotlan Island and Adventure Island are collectively called the Ocotlan. But they are divided into their own ethnic groups and can share the same space without many problems. This is because they are governed by a document called the One Ocotlan Protocol. The document was created by the First Ocotlan Elders and outlines how each of the tribes can coexist in the same space. It is the single most important document in Ocotlan, and even in the Floating Isles as a whole. Since then, the Ocotlan have had no tribal problems since the Natuzans first arrived. There are four ethnic groups in Ocotlan: Kishil, Odina, Nodin and Miski. The Odina and Kishil people live on Adventure Island, while the Nodin and Miski people live on Ocotlan Island. The Ocotlan operate on the principle of neutrality. They do not interfere with the issues of other Natuzans on other islands, and try not to have problems on their own islands. But if one Ocotlan tribe is being aggressed for no reason, then the other tribes will drop their stance and defend the oppressed tribe.
