The Far North
Central Floating Islands
The central islands are the largest. These temperate lands boast a wide diversity of plants with very little amounts of animals aside from fliers and windcatchers who managed to reach the skies. The middle island holds a large hole that drops its dirt into the ocean. A massive wind vortex, salty with seawater, spirals up into this hole, which allowed the early gliding rubasyn explorers to reach the island to investigate.
Outer Floating Islands
Hovering closer to the ocean, the outer islands display more waterfalls and scenic landscapes. These smaller islands are used as farmland for Nox, but much of it has been left untouched.
Selle'saut
A small island off the coast of the barren lands of Pselle, Sellesaut is the Iceland of Ptitheros; a strange little world contained within itself where warmth radiates from underground volcanic activity and strong aura-flow. Similar in climate and mannerisms as the Lowlanders of Wyndgale, Sellesaut is a place of natural solitude where monsters are not feared and life is calm and unburdening to those who prefer to stay away from cities.
Pselle Ashland
A barren wasteland of purple scenery and rivers of frozen distilled aura. The ashland is ripe with volcanic activity from deep within the hearth, pushing the flow of aura upwards into the crust of the landscape. Craggy cliffs and smooth plains crawl across the expanse, welcoming nobody to its territory. However, just east of the ashland is a small island called Pselle Island. This little isle is a territory of Nox and is perfectly habitable, has a wonderful climate, and is home to Ptithians who want a rural life away from the mainland.
Settlements
CAPITAL CITY | Steam City
Nox is a large floating island off the northern coast, just above Braeyc territory. Much of the inner island is filled to the brim with Victorian-esce architecture and aura-powered industrialization, such as commodity factories and capsule plants. On the east edge of the city is farmland and open fields that cover the smaller floating islands- quiet cottage life is prioritized here. On the west edge of the city are larger and more spaced-out buildings, all leading towards the capital government building that sits next to the Whirlwind that rises from the ocean to the island's top. Life is non-stop in Nox, but the beauty it holds outside of its busy central city zone is worthwhile.
CITY | Fox Isle
Fox Isle is a smaller sector of the Nox Capital located slightly south of it. A moderately sized island in the North Ocean, birthed from a submarine volcano that has long since been dormant. It is the middle ground between reaching the mainland from Nox and back, handling many of the marketing and goods traveling via ships and blimps. Because of this, the isle is home to many merchant families and dock workers, along with those looking for a life that is very straightforward with an even lifestyle of natural and industrial.
TOWN | Sellesaut
A small island off the coast of the barren lands of Pselle, Sellesaut is the Iceland of Ptitheros; a strange little world contained within itself where warmth radiates from underground volcanic activity and strong aura-flow. Similar in climate and mannerisms as the Lowlanders of Wyndgale, Sellesaut is a place of natural solitude where monsters are not feared and life is calm and unburdening to those who prefer to stay away from cities.
