Lanternfall is a broad sanctuary region scattered across drifting islands, fertile floating gardens, cloud lakes, and ruined engine towers. Its settlements thrive along beacon routes and anchored platforms, while remote communities cling to unstable fragments above endless cloud. Diplomats, salvagers, pilgrims, and explorers meet under strict neutral laws. Recently, peaceful visitors from nonexistent shards have begun arriving, suggesting that Lanternfall may conceal a passage into the rifts.
