	The Skylands are the collective name for the multitude of floating islands that exist in an endless sky. Islands vary in both environment and in size, many islands are small and meander across the sky on predictable paths but some of the larger island (such as the floating continent of Terra Firma) maintain a more or less constant position. The Skylands are divided into five distinct layers, each becoming progressively more alien and uninhabitable as the altitude lowers. Most races live at uppermost layer which is analogous to sea level in our world in terms of pressure and climate though alpine and desert regions are not uncommon. Just below this lies the Wilderness, while similar to the surface(name needed), the Wilderness is much cooler and wetter, as such the Wilderness is populated mostly by dense jungles and dangerous creatures. Coupled with its impassable terrain, the Wilderness is covered by thick cloud most of the time and as a result is mostly uncharted and home to few permanent residents, the only traces of civilisation are the long abandoned ruins and temples that dot the jungles (like Machu Pichu and Angkor Wat), what happened to these civilisation is unknown. Beyond the Wilderness lies the Abyss, this cold dark region marks the edge of explored sky. The creatures who live in this region are bizarre and mainly feed on debris falling from above much like deep sea life on earth. The farther down one goes into Skyland, the more dark and dangerous things become, until one reaches The Mists. The Mist is a frozen place drenched in blue half light that is the final resting place for many of the islands that slip from their orbits like an island graveyard, The Mist is named after ever present thick fog that shrouds it's islands and becomes progressively denser until it finally makes travel impossible.

	The words echoed over the serenity of the small garden, silent save for the gentle birdsong that warbled from the flowering trees of the courtyard. White marble framed the carefully manicured garden, as fluted columns supported the stone over the twisting mosaics that lined the walkway around the small floral paradise. The Eagle sighed softly, moving to stand at the rim of a small reflecting pool. A talon tugged at the white toga covering the aven's frame as he spoke, still glancing away from the human beside him. "You certainly strike straight to the heart of the issue, friend. Perhaps it would do you well to read more of Caceres. A small amount of tact and a smaller amount of guile would certainly not be wasted. But to answer your question... Yes, I do. My vote comes only through my service in the Auxilia. I am a man of warfare and campaigns. And I will always support a Praetor over a magistrate. Men's morals and interests are warped by too much time in the city. Perhaps it's the wine, perhaps it's the feasting, but a soul loses its courage and instead becomes hollow."

	The human moved to ~~the~~ Rasha's side, ~~its~~ wings noticeably restrained rather than out on full display. A hand rose to rest on the aven's shoulder, catching the Eagle's eyes. "I understand your dedication to the Legions and the men who guide them, but Antoninus will do nothing but sour the Empire. A leader he may seem, but a roc is all he is.

They are more active than we have ever seen in the past centuries. Forts have been taken, Pius. Not simple villages or even towns but armed garrisons. I am fully aware that Petrus will be elected -- I may be stubborn but I am not a fool, and I make no protest against that. But while one magistrate is tolerable -- perhaps it is even necessary -- two at this time would be disastrous. Even a roc thinks for itself and protects its rider without guidance. And Antoninus shall be the roc that the Empire needs. A vote for Latrius is a vote that will weaken us. A vote for Antoninus is one that will bind us together.
