Salable Description

On the planet Athria, disaster and pollution has left the grounds and waters uninhabitable. Having foreseen these events, humans have found ways to take to the skies using pirate ships.

After the Blight & In the Skies
In the skies, there are various territories that have been claimed for specific areas. For further visuals see map.
 * Estian Region - This is a neutral region where the infamous Regalia can be found.
 * The Shamar Winds - A sky marketplace of sorts can be found here. Many merchant ships gather to trade wares and goods.
 * The Runab Skies
 * The Gahnath Region - An area that most ships avoid. Notorious for being largely run by criminals.
 * The Barge n' Charge - A junkyard type area.
 * The Alturea Region - Many Azphel ships, including the Yuvon are sanctioned here.
 * Hasev Skies - Generally biome ships can be found here.
 * Tireath

In addition to these areas, the great Northern and Southern slips are streams of wind that reach incredibly high speeds. Certain ships can use these slips to reach specific destinations throughout the sky world more quickly

Detailed Story Concepts

 * 1) In the past all ships that have crashed have been consumed by ‘The Blight’, as people cannot survive long in the lower polluted atmosphere. Hundreds of years later, one ship manages to crash on a section of this world that has healed itself and finds to their surprise, that it has not only become habitable, but the world below is not as they once knew it, with creatures they have never seen.
 * 2) Long after the story where they discover this, they find other ‘pockets’ of livable areas in this world’. A hundred years have past since the discovery and some of the sky pirates have built small villages in these areas.

Meaning Behind the Name

 * The origin of the name of the world ‘Athria’ comes from the meanings "A Full Moon Night; A Star; Powerful; Prayer; Quick; Lightning". This is particularly important, because this world is known for its many lightning storms and it’s darker atmosphere.

Weather

 * Weather in Athria is typically stormy in the skies, though there are patches of clear skies on the occasion. The weather of the world below is mostly always foggy.

Mountains, Prominent Landmarks or Landscapes

 * There are “healed” patches of land beneath the skies. These healed areas can sometimes be entirely habitable, though some areas can only be habitable in upper areas which is why in the future, some have built their villages in trees, with homes and buildings that are interconnected with bridges.


 * Bioluminescent caves, many of which are filled with water.
