Skylands Campaign Wiki

Welcome to the Skylands Campaign Wiki
The Skylands is a campaign setting for the Pathfinder system. The world is a series of floating islands suspended in the sky, where each island is brimming with adventure. And that's precisely enough dithering about. Here's some box text!


 * "Why should we regard our home as the outlier, the exception? We were here first, after all. Who's to say the rest of creation isn't like this?"
 * -- Brandigas the Contemplative
 * The Skylands is a place, some would call it a world, or even a plane. But to those who call it home, it is simply all that is and all that will be, suspended forever between the elemental chaos of The Roil and the starry infinities of The Astral.


 * This... place, the Skylands, is just so many floating rocks hanging in the void. Massive islands of stone, soil and stranger things, drifting across the sky with life clinging to every available surface. Some of these floating continents would dwarf entire worlds, if the legends hold true.


 * Scholars of this world have long debated how such a thing could come to exist, with two competing theories. The first is simplest, that the gods created the Skylands as they exist now, the pinnacle of their creation. The second theory is that this was once one great world, and some cataclysmic force sundered it, sending it forever skyward. Neither theory has been proven adequately, as the gods are silent on the matter, and expeditions down into The Roil do not return.


 * But life goes on, and most residents of the Skylands do not care what created their lands. They are more concerned with the daily demands of life, keeping the fires of civilization burning brightly against the dark tide of savagery. Most do not even look past their home islands, and some go entire lifetimes without seeing a distant shore through the clouds. Emperors and peasants alike are content to focus on the immediate, the local. For indeed, even a single island is said to hold lifetimes of adventure, to say nothing of when the great giants cross paths.


 * The only question is how to distinguish oneself from the countless adventurers who came before? How to leave a mark on this strange world?
