Flislands

The Flislands (Southern: /ˈflis.lənz/, Northern: /ˈflʊi.landz/) are the main contiental masses that exist on the planet of Oath. They are composed of unique geological composites that allow them to hover through the saelum, drifting around the planet through saelic winds. The continent of Senescensia is an example of a flisland archipelago, which is made of three tiers of flisland.

The flislands go through a regular lifecycle of breaking, drifting, and reforming. This process can take anywhere between a few hundred to over 5000 years. During the breaking phase, dust, small rocks, and loose dirt may be ejected. These will often move at differing speeds to their companion continents[citation needed], which has lead to the buildup of the Great Dust Reefs that drift between continents. On rare occasion, the newly formed broken islands will rise or fall, for no known reason. However, most flislands will stay in their usual float range.

Levels of Flislands
The lowest flislands, composed primarily of Bedrock, sit on an average height of 0.98km, or 3,200ft. While these are the smallest landmasses by surface area, they take up the largest percentage of exposed saelum. The Bedrock layers are populated primarily by Goblinoids, and are known for exporting high quantities of heavy metals, such as Lead, Thadmium, and Arsenic.

The next layer is the flislands composed of Ogammite, which float at a height of 1.96km, or 6,100ft. These flislands are the sturdiest of all flislands, having the fewest breakages. This layer is home to the Dwarves, and is known most for it's export of fine rocks and minerals, such as Marble, Opals, and Geodesic Tourmaline.

In the middle, and home to the highest popualtion densities, is the flislands built of Peytonite, which average a height of 3.26km or 10,700ft. Peytonite is theoried to have originated from Karyotite deposits reacting with the ethanol and carbon dioxide excreted from the Glow Fungus forests present on it's surface. Evidence for this can be found with the increased levitative potential of Peytonite when exposed to Hagravium, effectively partially reversing this process. The Peytonite flislands are home to the Humans, and have large exports in the agriculture indistry due to their increased soil pH and calcium density.

The highest layer that is inhabited year-round is the Karyotite flislands. These sit at an average of 5.43km, or 17,800ft, above sea level. This layer has been well known for it's disproportionately high fungal forest density, which cover 72% of the landmass at this level. The Keryotite flislands are primarily populated by Elves.

The absolute top layer of flislands are those comprised of Aetherite, floating at an average of 9.85km or 32,300ft. These flislands are not populated by any sentient beings throughout the year. Due to their extreme height, oxygen levels are drastically lowered, and the temperature reaches lows of -40°c at night. However, expeditions do occasionally venture up, and have reported "there is nothing up their[sic] bar snow and rocks. Fuck sake man, we lost Jimmy to get up here".
