T HE S UNDERED S KIES
The Sundered Skies began when another
world died.
Millennia ago, a terrible cataclysm shattered
a world. What remained was an unknown
number of islands fl oating in a fathomless
void. Millions perished in the Sundering, and
hundreds of thousands more died during
the chaos that followed. Despite the horrors
of these times, the races of elf, dwarf, man,
orc, and drakin—aided by mostly benevolent
gods—survived and fl ourished in this strange
new world.
Now, skyships fl y between islands, allowing
trade, travel, exploration, and the salvaging of
artifacts and material from the pre-Sundering
age. Skyship crews face dangerous weather,
pirates, and more, while scavengers of ancient
ruins often face the undead and other, darker
creatures. The churches of the Skies bring
together worshippers to pay homage to the
gods. The powerful and bureaucratic Trade
Council enforces a sky-wide peace, turning
a blind eye to several small, clandestine
wars continuing in the shadows. Meanwhile,
mysterious and arcane secret societies hatch
their baleful plans.
Sundered Skies is still a dangerous place.
them—is open to conjecture. Many put it
down to the gods. Others claim there is a
magically-active mineral within the islands
that keeps them aloft. Most do not question
the mysteries of their world and simply get
on with their lives.
Very rarely, it has been known for an island
to fall and either crash into a lower island or
disappear into the depths of the void. This
terrifying phenomenon is called “landfall.”
Sometimes the inhabitants of an island get
some warning, such as tremors or smaller
landfalls, before the cataclysm. More often
they do not.
Collisions with other islands can also
happen. Seventy years ago, the city of Spire
was destroyed in a catastrophic collision with
a previously unknown isle, killing thousands.
A group of sorcerers surviving the disaster
founded a paranoid guild of astronomers,
The Sons of Spire. Now they scour the void
looking for rogue islands, anxious to prevent
disaster.
The vast empty spaces between islands
are plagued with winds that can blow at
extraordinary speeds. The inhabited islands
are those spared these destructive winds,
but many an isle can be found that has been
scoured clean, leaving nothing more than
wind-eroded bedrock. A permanent twister,
called a vortex, forms where predominant
airstreams meet, creating a navigational
hazard strong enough to tear islands apart.
Unknown forces prevent ships from fl ying
over islands unless they travel at least a mile
above it. A ship may approach an island’s
edge, but for reasons not fully understood,
they are unable to sail closer without also
sailing higher.
THE ISLANDS
Islands range in size from those barely
large enough for a single tower to a size
where they can support several cities. In the
inland regions of larger islands, there is often
no evidence you are standing on a lump of
rock fl oating in an endless void.
Why the islands fl oat and how they orbit
one another—sometimes moving against
the strong wind currents that whip between
