As mentioned before, this planet is covered entirely in thick clouds and gas. The ocean of cloud is poisonous to all sentient life, and will kill a man in about 5 minutes if surfaced bellow the cloud line. The inhabitants of sky avoid this fate by living on the many floating
Islands that are above the clouds. These islands contain there own ecosystem and towns and can range in size from tiny desert island to entire continents.
To travel between these islands, the people of Skur have created airships, powered by steam engines and in some cases, Magic. There are also "submarines" to explore the depth of the clouds but can only dive so far before the pressure of the planet crushes it or one of its many giant cloud swimming creatures mistake it for food. No one has ever been on the true surface of the planet.
There are many nations that inhabit the world of Skur, but the two to make note now are the Iron Alliance and the Nation of Magic. They are the largest of the nations and are across each other on separate sides of the planets hemispheres. Unfortunately, these two nations have been in war with each other for a decade and the fighting only seems to get worse as time passes. Both nations are not above hiring pirate mercenaries for their dirty work.
- Nation of Magic
The nation of magic is an alliance of mostly Elves and Humans. Their culture is based of 19th century England and their airships are light and fast. They just started using magic to power their machines and weapons to keep up with the technology of the Iron Alliance. The color of choice for the nation is blue. - Iron Alliance
The Iron Alliance is a nation comprised of mostly Dwarf Kingdoms and Humans. They are heavily Soviet inspired and their airships are slow, but durable. They don't use a lot of magic in their machines as they believe it is untrustworthy and instead rely on hard dependable steel. The color of choice for the Iron Alliance is red. - The Black Myst
A dark substance that rises from the surface of the planet located in the northern hemisphere. Not much is known about the Black Myst other then its more deadly to people then normal and it harbors monsters that can only live in the Myst. These monsters have never been seen because the Myst is so dark but people can see their red glowing eyes threw the veil. Normally the two major nations have worked together to keep the Myst at bay but since the war it has slowly crept over closer and closer to the Two unsuspecting Nations.
