Skymoor

Floating islands that can be seen high in the atmosphere from the highest peaks of the Dragonbone Spine Mountains.  These islands float independently or in clusters, drifting gently amidst the clouds.  From the ground, Skymoor appears as a distant, ethereal landscape high in the sky. Its islands are often shrouded in mist or surrounded by wispy clouds, adding to their mystique.  
Skymoor evokes a sense of awe and wonder, both for its breathtaking natural beauty and its mystical properties.

• The Aether Market: A bustling bazaar that appears and disappears with the shifting winds, where traders from various floating islands gather to exchange goods and stories.
• The Island of the Whispering Winds: An island with trees that seem to sing as the wind passes through them, creating an ever-changing symphony that holds secrets for those who can understand the melodies.
• The Celestial Observatory: A grand structure built by ancient scholars to study the cosmos and celestial bodies, now a sacred site for stargazers and astronomers seeking cosmic knowledge.

Localized Phenomena

Skymoor is situated at a powerful convergence of ley lines, imbuing the islands with potent magical energies.  The islands are sustained by ancient magic or natural phenomena, keeping them aloft without visible means of support. This magic may be tied to the ley lines or the unique geological makeup of the islands themselves.  Despite its otherworldly appearance, Skymoor maintains a delicate balance with the natural world, reflecting themes of coexistence and interconnectedness.

Fauna & Flora

Each island boasts unique flora and fauna adapted to its particular environment. Some islands may have lush forests, while others might feature crystalline formations or cascading waterfalls that defy gravity.  Skymoor is home to airborne creatures adapted to life among the islands.
