2.1.15: The Cloudlands

  Boats sail on the rivers, 
  And ships sail on the seas; 
  But clouds that sail across the sky 
  Are prettier far than these. 

  There are bridges on the rivers, 
  As pretty as you please; 
  But rainbows that bridge heaven, 
  And overtop the trees, 
  And build a road from earth to sky, 
  Are prettier far than these. 

     Boats Sail on the Rivers, Christina Giorgina Rossetti 

Rumor tells of a magical floating country in the clouds, the work of some long-forgotten wizards. Blown hither and thither over the countryside by the prevailing winds, the Cloudlands can be reached only by flight -- and then only from the tallest of mountains.

The Cloudlands is home to three cities: Nimbus, Stratos and Aerovia.
