Walking around what was once known as the Unitus Statis of Amercanes was a sight to be taken in.  The buildings that were floating on the air always were impressive.  Standing on the edge of a platform one could see many hundreds of miles if another building didn’t float into the field of vision.

            To look below the floating buildings and blocks could be queasy at times.  Nothing but jagged rocks and hanging moss could be seen beneath.  No one remembers what technology released the ground and allowed it to float above the heads of those beneath.  Directly beneath those floating structures there is thick moisture that builds up, almost cloudlike.

            It’s been said not to go to the center just below any of the floating structures.  People and animals alike disappear when entered.  Whether this is a sign that the Archectites are too dangerous to keep around or not they have been around for too many generations.  They have seen humans evolve into what they are today, many races from the gnomish to the giants.

            The amazing part about these giant masses of ground that fly in the sky was how quietly they move.  Not a whisper of a sound could be heard.  The only ones that stood in place were anchored to other ones and anchored to the ground.  This is how the city in the skies started to come by.  Here at Nostrom was the largest city in the known world.

            To travel from one to the other one could use the sky bridges if they were brave.  The quickest way to get to the other was to fly.  All sorts of flying machines could be seen zooming from one to the other Archectites.  Amazing flowing machines that ranged from using fossil fuels to ion engines could be built with old materials found by the Archeologist Association of Dramner.

            Crafting these machines had become an art.  No one knew exactly how everything worked except the most masterful craftsmen and craftswomen.  They were the most sought out people in the new world.  If a human of any kind didn’t have a flying machine then they didn’t have a life or they wanted to be off the grid for whatever the reason.  The machines were all tracked by sophisticated machines buried deep within each of the floating mountains.  If the authorities wanted you, they got you.

            The world of Tris, which has been known as other names in history, has been for the most part a peaceful world.  As long as most rules are followed there is very little murder and death on this world.  Technology has saved an immense part of population making people survive much longer.  So far the longest human recorded living in history was 1429 years old.  Imagine a technological peaceful world and you would find Tris.
