Basic structure of the world

The first thing to know about the soaring island world is that it uses the same laws of physics as the real world. Large objects attract smaller ones, the law of conservation of energy applies, and the like. Despite this, many things seem to be an exception, for example: soaring ore - a mineral containing volatile gases, artifacts of the ancients having almost magical properties, giant animals using gases and soaring ore for flight. The universe of the soaring islands is filled with super massive objects that are the centers of gravity and sources of the atmosphere. There are infinitely many of these objects and their shapes are very diverse.

SMP is a huge flat object, inside it lives the simplest protoorganism covered with a shell of compressed rocks and minerals. This organism is called Mega amoeba, it is able to extend its tentacles within its own atmosphere. Mega amoeba devours all organic matter falling on its surface, it also emits a huge amount of heavy gases, poisonous to most creatures. The force of attraction of the SMP is evenly distributed over the entire surface and it is slightly weaker than that of objects with a central point of attraction.

Soaring islands are accumulations of soaring ore on which soil and minerals have accumulated over time. Soaring ore has a unique atomic structure, due to which the space between the ore atoms is filled with a mixture of gases. These gases are trapped in the structure of the ore and are in a state of vaporization / boiling. When the structure of the ore is disturbed, the trapped gases are released in the form of steam.

Thanks to these gases, the soaring ore, like a float in water, is constantly pushed out by heavier gases. Soaring ore comes in several states: Soaring ore - rock formations are quite dense and strong. They are the basis for the islands. Soaring dust - small ore shards. Are in a state of equilibrium. The position of the dust is affected by large objects and wind. The crystals soaring ore - compressed over time soaring ore. Mainly found in the base of a very large islands.

Soaring ore is magnetic. It is attracted to metals and repelled from the SMP.

Many plants in the world soaring islands use the cavity filled with light gases, in order to fly. Large clusters of flying lianas form islands that do not have a solid base. Such living islands can be destroyed by collision with other objects.

Some plants accumulate the dust of the soaring ore to allow them to fly.

Many species of organisms in the soaring island world are adapted to flight, glide, and use gases to ascend to different heights. Some animal species have evolved into giants. They use floating ore and gases to fly. Such giants feed mainly on air plankton. Also, many animals use wings and membranes.

Air plankton is a congregation of small animals that use particles of soaring ore to fly.

Anomalies are the result of the experiments of the Ancients. Many creatures (including humans) entered the floating island world through anomalies.

The Empire is the largest state in the world of the soaring islands. The founder of the Empire, Zugul the Great, was the leader of a nomadic tribe. He founded the first settlement on the flying continent, and began to conquer the surrounding tribes and peoples.

The empire arose on the huge continent "Arza".

Before the empire, there were many warlike tribes that constantly fought for scarce resources.

One of the leaders is tired of losing loved ones in the war. He decided to unite all the tribes and stop senseless wars.

Founder of the empire Zugul the Great. Born into a tribe of nomads - robbers.

He made constant raids on neighboring tribes. When destroying enemies, he took not only resources and women, but also smart and skillful people.

He developed in his tribe education and medicine. Encouraged the work of shamans, craftsmen and researchers.

Zugul was the first to begin not only to plunder the tribes, but also to annex them to his own.

Under him, a system of strict discipline was created among the soldiers.

He rewarded the labors of researchers and engineers.

The empire ended its existence shortly before the "Big Bang".

The Ancients are the first creatures in the soaring island world to reach an industrial level of development. They explored the world and built energy generators that emit light. In later stages of development, the Ancients were concerned with genetics and the nature of matter. The result of their research has become many races that combine the properties of various creatures. The ancients themselves changed the structure of their bodies for a more convenient existence in the world of floating islands.

One of the most recent studies was the creation of space-time anomalies. After that, all the Ancients disappeared. The creatures created by them gradually divided into those who evolved - intelligent, and those who regressed in their development - unreasonable.

After the disappearance of the Ancients, a large number of instruments and devices remained. Many of these artifacts began to be used by greedy creatures to seize power. The hunt for ancient artifacts has begun. Some artifacts from overload exploded, destroying entire continents with them. After that, the use of artifacts became much more careful and less frequent.

Senior branch

They look like tall people with full wings instead of arms. They have powerful legs with huge claws. This species is intelligent and educated, they are the carriers of the knowledge of the Ancients. In the genetic structure of individuals of the senior branch, information about the technologies and research of the Ancients is encoded.

The bird people of the older branch are very arrogant and warlike, they are hostile to aliens from other times, such as people. They are condescending to the younger members of their species, but are ready to protect them in any situation.

Middle branch

Much weaker and less developed. They are derived from experiments on crossing aliens from the future, humans and individuals of the older branch.

Individuals of the middle branch are more like people, they do not have full-fledged wings and claws are similar in structure to the feet of people. They look very feminine and weak, despite this, they are still stronger than humans. Their bodies are covered with light down. Large flight feathers grow on the lower leg and forearm.

The middle branch cannot fly, but they are more sociable and friendly.

Junior branch

Originated from individuals of the senior branch, in which the brain could not cope with the load of knowledge recorded in the genome. They are more like birds of prey, live in small flocks and attack everyone who does not belong to their community.

Representatives of the younger branches can not benefit from the knowledge they possess. They also cannot coexist peacefully with representatives of other species because of the awareness of their inferiority and differences from the older branch of their species.

They ended up in the soaring island world due to anomalies.
