þorreyjar

Also called the Thunderhead Isles. There are a number of eternal thunderheads roaming the skies above Skaney, set in place by Raegeric and his twins Vekaltor and Rylmer. At the heart of these storms are a number of islands which move and travel with them. Proud clans blessed by Beranok live atop these islands, worshipping Raegeric as their patron and living as Storm Viking . Their islands are unsuitable for farming, receiving no sunlight within the thick embrace of their storm cloud, but their home is untouchable to outside forces. Additionally, the trees which grow on their islands can be used to craft special ships which can sail through or atop thunderclouds. Using these ships and their abundance of Beranok blessings, Storm Vikings ride into surrounding areas and raid more bountiful lands before retreating back into the safety of the mesa. They consider themselves the beloved children of Raegeric and are greatly feared by surrounding peoples, especially to farmers in the Eluzian Valley.

Aside from location, these isles are very similar to the Fljotareyjar . They are typically dominated by alpine forest but each set of isles is unique. They are generally dominated by a specific Storm Viking Clan.
