Hemellt

Main

 * everyone lives on airships at cloud level and has lived this way for centuries
 * ships are constructed and assigned in accordance with specific purposes for each one: residential, food production, production of other goods, recreation, education, punishment, etc


 * everyone's a vegetarian
 * no wildlife
 * the airships are constantly moving, fuelled by a combination of wind magic and more conventional biofuels


 * the occasional supply run to the surface is performed by a special military unit
 * supplies are also harvested from mountaintops with less stress
 * technology level: high

History

 * long ago, everyone lived on the surface, guided by prophets with future sight abilities and living off symbiosis with the wildlife
 * then every single prophet received the same (vague) prophecy about the surface world bringing calamity
 * the world collectively lost its shit and started constructing airships so they could flee the prophecied doom
 * some unlucky mfers were consigned to stay on the surface as bait while the rest fled
 * when the transition was complete, the upper brass consigned basically all history to the memory hole for Well-Intentioned But Fuckstupid Reasons
 * now, few know why they're in the sky but still believe the top brass when they say it's necessary to stay there and always be moving

Points of Interest

 * the Lepak: batfolk who live in the high mountains and who the other denizens of Hemellt discovered when they took to the sky, but who had been assisting them unseen before. WB-aligned. follow a weird creed that mandates them to help non-Lepak while also requiring each individual Lepak to fend for themself
 * Wiejis: pangolinfolk wind mage / transmuter formerly in charge of minor pilot duties but neglected them to examine the world around them and trying to find patterns in it. found out about other worlds from a forbidden manuscript, sparked, and is now fucking around trying to glean some great unifying set of rules and patterns that unites the entire Multiverse
