The Floating Archipelago of Arnae

The Arnae Archipelago is a group of islands that floats above the Uteran Continent, and is considered separate from the governance of the Grand Cabal. They are inhabited mainly by Aere Gnomes and Ether Dwarves.

All airships for Utera are constructed in Thunderstoke Citadel These airships are lifted into the air via a captured elemental, generally a steam mephit and are propelled by giant turbines which are powered via mined lightning.

Lightning is mined by the small colony of Aere Gnomes who mainly live in Thunderstoke Citadel, atop the largest floating island of Arnae, Nisi.
