Description on Chubfrom Chub
After the mists rose and the cataclysm claimed most of humanity, only those who lived in flying ships and floating islands survived. Now, in this new era, the Sky Queen struggles to keep her tenuous control over the few settlements that survived while the pirates run rampant. The control of the aethercite, the strange mineral that makes both islands and ships fly, is the only origin of the true power in this steam-powered society of pirates, demons, and overbearing tyrants!

Cloudscape Sovereignty
10 entries · scan depth 50 · budget 500 tokens
- #1Sovereigntyselective
Keys: Cloudscape Sovereignty, Skyspire, Sovereignty, Kingdom
The Cloudscape Sovereignty is the last shred of civilization left in the world, ruled by the Sky Queen and her Sky Marshals. This state holds a tenuous control over the biggest cities that remained after the cataclysm and scrambles to maintain law and order against the fallen and the pirates. The Sky Queen is a cruel despot, more keen on keeping her grip on power than providing any real protection to her citizens.
The Sovereignty controls the biggest mines of Aethercite in the region and keeps the biggest reserve of the mineral in the royal vaults, far away from pirates and revolutionaries. The capital of the Sovereignty is in the floating city of Skyspire.
The state is divided into the higher cities that roam in the skies on top of floating islands, where all the rich people live, and the low cities, the ones on top of mountains, constantly under attack of the Fallen.
- #2The Cataclysmselective
Keys: mists, cataclysm, mist
The Cataclysm happened a hundred years ago. It is still unclear what really happened, but the official story is that the God from Below cursed humanity as punishment for harnessing the Aethercite and the skies, unleashing the mists.
The mists are a dense purple fog that creeps close to the surface, turning all humans that breathe it into savage creatures moved by the most basic impulses of feeding and reproducing known as the Fallen. There's no known cure for the Fallen, but if they rape and breed with a human while transformed, the offspring of this union are the Tainted.
The mists swallowed every major city and every human being except the cities in high mountains, living on floating islands, or currently on sky ships. Laying waste to most of human civilization.
- #3Fallenselective
Keys: fallen
The fallen are the humans infected and corrupted by the mists. When a human breathes in enough mists, they get ill. If they don't manage to beat the infection, their skin turns purple, and they lose all high-brain capacity, thinking only about feeding and breeding.
Fallen attacks often fall upon the lowest cities, stealing food and unleashing mass rapes over the population. Both the Sky Marshalls and the pirates try to fight against these creatures without much success. It is unknown how many of those still exist under the mists.
- #4Taintedselective
Keys: tainted, futanari, futa
The Tainted, or futanari, are the offspring of a Fallen and a human, typically after a mass rape assault on the lower cities. Tainted have both a vagina and a penis and might have a slight purple skin color. Tainted are bigger and stronger than humans and are beings heavily influenced by their instincts, often ruling by force. The Cloudscape Sovereignty sees them as inferior to humans and forbids them from living in the higher cities, condemning them to a life of semi-slavery or to join the pirates.
- #5The Piratesselective
Keys: sky pirates, pirates
The pirates are independent bands of criminals that operate aboard flying ships, raiding other vessels and settlements to procure supplies and riches. Since the Cataclysm, the pirates have run rampant, attacking and stealing everything not bolted to the ground. The Sovereignty and the Sky Marshals keep a tenuous grip on the handful of cities closer to the capital, but outside that, pirates rule over the skies.
While most of them are desperate people that turned to crime to survive, there are a lot of idealist pirates that picked that life for them as a way to flip the middle finger to the Sovereignty and the tyrant Sky Queen, trying to bring forth the fall of the empire.
- #6The Godsselective
Keys: god, goddess of above, god from below, goddess
The gods of humanity are the Goddess of Above (or simply the Goddess) and her brother, the God from Below (or simply the God). For centuries, humanity worshiped this duality of gods. The Goddess represents purity, the skies, change, and innovation, while the God represents determination, the land and seas, preservation, and fertility.
During the Cataclysm, the God from Below forsook and cursed humanity, bringing the mists to lay waste to their civilization. Since then, only the Goddess has continued being worshiped, turning her into basically the only deity and her brother into a dark, vengeful figure.
- #7Aetherciteselective
Keys: skystone, aethercite
The Aethercite, or Skystone, is the powerful mineral that fuels the flying ships and makes the floating islands float. It is said that it is the Goddess' blood crystallized. The scientists had been studying this strange mineral for centuries, but it was not until a hundred years ago that they learned to harness its power and build the first flying ships. With that, humanity finally was able to fly and reach the floating islands and began colonizing them. It is said the use of Aethercite is what caused the Cataclysm, as it came shortly after humanity harnessed its power.
Aethercite is one of the most valued materials in the world, heavily guarded by the Cloudscape Sovereignty and highly coveted by the pirates. Controlling the Skystone is controlling humanity.
- #8The Sky Queenselective
Keys: Sky Queen, Queen
Sky Queen Ceres is the ruler of the Cloudspire Sovereignty. She is a tyrant more interested in keeping her power than in protecting her serfs. The Sky Queen rules by force using the might of the sky armada and the sky marshals, a body of military police that enforces the rules of the Sovereignty in all the cities they can reach. The Queen has signed a death warrant for all the pirates and has been waging a war against them that she likes to paint as a crusade against chaos.
- #9Flying Shipsselective
Keys: ship, vessel
Using the power of aethercite, the flying ships (or flying vessels) can float through the skies. These marvels of engineering started popping up about a century ago, when the scientists harnessed the secrets of aethercites. Rapidly, the society turned to these flying ships to carry out trade and military operations. After the Cataclysm, the flying ships became a way of life. Almost an identity. While on a flying ship, the captain is the highest authority.
- #10Gale’s Endselective
Keys: gale's end, gale end
Gale's End is a small outpost on the borders of the Cloudscape Sovereignty, built atop a narrow mountain. The town itself is small, poor, and heavy with industry; heavy smog covers the skies during working hours, and winds barely blow.
Nature sprawls surrounding the city, including the small forest located in almost its peak. Inside of it, it hides a small shrine dedicated to the Goddess, run by one Mother Grace, who's rumored to have a very "particular" kind of doctrine for her acolytes.
Gale's End suffers constant attacks from the Fallen and the pirates, so it is considered a not-so-safe city. Citizens are as such fearful and suspicious of strangers.
