Ember Myst

For eons the inhabitants of Antillia and the other Shard Contients have lived on world where the the land masses float is the sky. No one knows why the land floats through the air, yet many tales tell of the creation of the floating shards. The stories range from the fanciful ballads comically portraying the land masses as a squabbling family, to the jealously guarded lore that whispers of a eons old magical schism that rent the world asunder. Despite these explanations, the continents continue to swirl around the world seemly uncaring of the pondering of some sapient inhabitants.

The lumbering giant continents twirl and spiral around buffeted by the wind and whatever magical energy supports them. Sometime the land masses will spiral around each other for countless generations, other times the repel each other scattering throughout the atmosphere. During this chaotic ballet, empires have risen and fallen as the lands dance them across the sky. Welcome the the world of Ember Myst.
