World Name: Airth
Shape of the world
The world is filled with floating land masses that require great Airships to traverse. Monstrous human-like races live together and interbreed with humans regularly in this world. Despite the floating nature of the landmasses, even exotic land features like hot springs, volcanoes, Waterfall-filled rivers, or rainforests
Mainlands and Islands
The largest of the floating land masses, colloquially known as mainlands, are quite huge. The longest of them can easily reach hundreds of miles on it's greatest axis. Still, even the most land-locked town on Airth will find itself no further then seventy or eighty miles from skyfall in at least one direction. (This makes them similar to England, New Zealand or Japan). Scattered around and between these mainlands are innumerable islands, many of which are only dozens of miles across.
Britannia
This mainland is the home of the Eponymous Britannia Empire, the rising power on Airth.
Hispania
A mainland not too far from Britannia most notable for it's very recent and dramatic sinking into the mist, a process which took only a matter of a couple years. Also the original home of Diego
Puerto Rico
The Hispania name for the island of Diego's last posting as a soldier, located out away from the known Mainlands.

The empires are competing in a way very similar to the colonial powers of Europe, exerting control over the other island, and encouraging proxy wars between the powers. More to add...
Representative Countries
Few countries spread beyond the borders of their Islands, and some islands even have multiple smaller competing countries. There are 2 Empires who have control over more than one Island, and have even performed grand feats of construction to connect some of the islands with bridges, and each are grand world renowned landmarks
One of the major splits between the empires is in their focus on Magic vs Technology...
The Empire of Britannia is on the rise, its technological airships spread their influence far an wide
The Empire of Atlantia has ruled through magically powered airships for a while.
More to add (expand details of the empires)...
World Threats
The land masses are slowly sinking into the clouds, some say the world was whole once before parts of it sunk into the unknown below...
World Enigmas
What lies beneath the clouds? Some say it is the land of monsters, others think it is bottomless, optimists think it is a paradise none want to return from...
