The entirety of human civilization is contained upon Byfro, the endless sky. At one time, in the distant past, Byfro was thought to form the entire plane of existence. In reality, Byfro is a spherical planet, composed entirely of gasses, aside from the various landmasses, and the proposed core.

Barring nomads and a few other outlier, human civilization exists entirely on the uncounted numbers of landmasses that float in the skies of Byfro. After all, one cannot live upon thin air. While they range in size from tiny islets to floating continents so large that they are practically worlds unto themselves, there are some commonalities.

The majority of landmasses float in the altitudes referred to as the "Habitable Band" where the temperature and air pressure is most anemable to human habitation. All are free-floating, and most remain in a roughly stationary position relative to other landmasses. The exact mechanism by which this occurs is unknown, but is believed by most to be the result of some great, maybe even divine, magical phenomenon. Beyond that, landmasses are heterogeneous, loosely generalized into a number of different classifications.

Isleoids: Isleoids are the smallest, crudest form of landmass. Little more than lumpy collections of gravel, stone, ice, or other substances, islets are rarely stationary, and can be found in great numbers in gyres, eddies, and low-pressure zones where the winds collect them.
