 Arianus, the World of Air, is composed entirely of porous floating islands, aligned in three basic altitudes.In the Low Realm, the dwarves (called "Gegs", an elven word for "insects") live on the continent Drevlin and cheerfully serve the giant Kicksey-winsey, a city-sized machine that is the source of all water in Arianus.In the Mid Realm, elves and humans have warred for centuries with each other and amongst themselves for water, status, and advantage.
