The first is a smaller spire-topped structure positioned on the rim of the central mass, while the second is the more prominent central multi-storied spire which itself is topped by a massive golden construct, reminiscent of an astrolabe.Īdditionally, the architecture of the central mass seems to descend deep below the surface level with a distinct inverted dome peeking out from the very bottom of the rock.Īpart from the mentioned forests and green plains on the upper surfaces of the land masses, it also appears to have several subterranean rivers bursting forth from the rock, gradually diminishing into nothing during their free fall of hundreds of miles from above the ground.

While a few signs of architecture are visible on the outer rocks, the main focus lies on the central mass, with two discernible structures made out of marble or similar white stone.

The interior of the central spire, as seen during Vennessa's ascension. These outer rocks are connected with one single ring-like structure which again is held in place with several bridges or arches expanding from the central mass.

The floating 'island' actually seems comprised of several landmasses, with one large central rock and about seven to eight smaller 'satellites' positioned around it.
