Wandering Islands

Wandering islands are sky islands that have neither a fixed position in the Skies nor any set path upon which they float. Seemingly bound only by the winds of fate, they "wander" across the Fracture Skies and occasionally pass through the ever churning storm clouds that surround the known Skies. 
These nomad islands are prized by various exploratory companies across the Skies, as they often hold rare and as-of-yet discovered resources. Various academic bodies also seek these islands, believing that they may shine some insight into the nature of the world beyond the known Skies and the laws of nature that govern it. 
Occasionally, though, a wandering island will come to rest in the known Skies, assuming a fixed position and becoming a permanent fixture of this corner of the known world. The island of Dovin Prime is an example of such an island, and the people who arrived with their island developed completely independently of the known Skies.

Geography

The geography, composition, and even size of different wandering islands varies dramatically. Explorers have reported encountering islands made out of pure molten iron, islands upon which gravity seemed to be noticeably less powerful, and islands which are so large that, even after multiple weeks of travel, the opposite edge could not be found.

Ecosystem

Wandering islands have some of the most varied and alien ecosystems found in the Fractured Skies. Life upon these floating rocks has taken very different forms, as extreme elementally infused evolution has produced some truly unique specimens.

"You think I'm lying, is that it? I served seven years on the Endurance, you wind-mollusk, and we sailed past every line on every map of every damn archive that you could name. I saw a rock made of slimy sponge that sung with the voice of a thousand burning angels. I saw a place that was tied together by the webbing of a dragon that took the shape of a spider the size of one of the Crystal Towers. One time, I saw an island that was just fire! I have seen things that will haunt me, things that I will treasure for the rest of my life, and things that I wish I could claw out of my head with my fingernails. You think you can understand what I'm saying by writing it all down, and I'm here to tell you that you cant. Get on a ship. See it for yourself."
