Kaya
The Kaea
The Realm of the Air
The Kaea is the Realm of the Air. Raging wind and rain and lightning and more ravage Kaea, but it also is calm and still. Birds fly in the Kaea, but make their nests in the Avel trees and bushes. Few creatures are counted as true Creatures of the Kaea, and therefore the Kaya is not recognized as separate from the land or sea below.
With the development of Airships over the past few hundred years, a debate over whether or not sustainable Kaea communities will be allowed to form their own nations began and was approved in 3580 granting regions of the Kaea political sovereignty if they wished it.
Similar to a mountain's rain shadow, the Kaeav also create a rain shadow effect. Moist air blowing in condenses and creates rain beneath the Kaeav. The undersides of the Kaeav are often covered in mosses and vines. Vines occasionally work their way into the stone and cause chunks to break off. Due to the magnetics that keep the Kaeav aloft, these rarely fall to the Avel; though it does happen.
The Kaeav
The Kaeav are huge chunks of land that float in the sky.
Those who live on the Kaea are not only literally above everyone else, but they act as if they are. They tend to look down upon others and hold themselves aloft.
