Planet
Yelvora
The floating islands: thousands of pieces of land suspended in the sky, linked by bridges of roots, beneath which waterfalls pour into the void.
Yelvora has no ground. Its surface shattered a very long time ago and its pieces now float in the atmosphere: thousands of suspended islands, each the size of a hill, drifting slowly around one another.
The islands and their bridges
Each island carries its own forest, and the trees of those forests have found the answer: they throw roots towards the neighbouring islands. In time those roots thickened into true bridges that can be crossed on foot. The whole planet is stitched together by a net of living wood.
The endless waterfalls
Rainwater gathers on the tops of the islands, then spills over the edge in waterfalls that never strike anything. It scatters into mist before reaching the bottom, rises again with the warm air and falls as rain on the islands above. On Yelvora, the same water has been going round for ever.
