Nua was an avian paradise. Nestled in a corner of the world where towering mountains rose above an undulating landscape of thick clouds, Nua's uniqueness was carved into the sky-high homes that draped the sides of hundreds of rock pillars like beehives. Bridges made of strong sun tree roots connected the rock pillars. These aerial pathways were safe to walk on if one could brave the sight of a fall that dropped through tufts of clouds in some places. For the winged and fearless, Nua could be enjoyed best on the high pillars where endemic tree species sheltered homes from the glare of sunlight when the mist wasn't hanging heavy over the avians.
