Far to the east of the 3 continents was a very shadowy place in the ocean. Many beasts still ruled the depths but stayed away from the surface. It was far too dangerous due to the cause of the shadows.
Up in the clouds were floating land masses at varying heights. The lowest was easily 15 kilometers above the water but the highest was only at 75 kilometers. The individual pieces were not as big as the 3 continents but all together they could overshadow them.
Some were fairly stationary but others were chaotic storms of Qi. Some were nearly totally settled by humans while others were the domain of beasts. There were also connections built between many of them.
Most were artificial although a few were once natural. The more interesting pieces were 100% constructs. They were built with massive resources and were generally held by high powers at the highest rung of the power structure.
