The Big Scattering

The world of Sky Oceans is fragmented. That is the easy way to describe how its surface looks. Looming all over its atmosphere, at lower or higher altitudes, large patches of land - the flying islands- roam the skies. No one knows the full story of what happened to it. That knowledge has been lost for generations. What the inhabitants of this place know is that many, many years ago, there was a disaster: the Big Scattering, a violent event that shattered the surface of the planet, throwing large portions of land toward the skies and forcing mankind to adapt or perish.

Centuries have passed since then. Few humans survived the Scattering, and those who did formed tribes, claiming for themselves what little usable land they could find.

Life resumed; focused on surviving and rebuilding, humans soon stopped looking behind. The past was soon forgotten. The Scattering was now part legend, a starting point for the new generations that came after it. What happened before that was named the lost history.

As the tribes became stronger and larger, there were some who started searching for that lost history. They soon found out that the floating islands were full of ruins from the past, ruins that many times contained a lot of strange and advanced technology.

That was the start of the Scavenging Guilds and the age of the adventurers.
