Creating a MegaDungeon pt 2 Islands

René Magritte The Castle of the Pyrenees

While in terms of volume, most of the Eye is taken up by the titanic storm walls that surround it and (try) to keep people out, in terms of adventure, it's all about the floating islands.

Now, in a fantasy RPG, you really don't need a reason to have wildly different enviroments next to each other. IT'S MAGIC, just suspend your disbelief and fight some orcs, but I did think of the bare minimum for why this might work in the internal logic of The Eye.

The Eye is created and maintained by magical winds, and all sorts of winds rush through the spaces between the islands (which is also why you can't easily fly between them, it's very dangerous).

These winds can be hot, cold, wet, dry, and even stranger still, which creates the myriad environments of the floating islands, and endless possibilities for adventure.

Here are just some of the idea's I've had so far

Karstic Plateaus

When water cuts through limestone in a very specific way you get formations like the above, in Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, Madagascar. The spires aren't just beautiful but deadly as well, they are often razor sharp and the name of the park itself roughly translates to "where one cannot walk barefoot". Great inspiration for an island, I think.

Lake of Thunder

There is a lake in Venezuela, Lake Maracaibo, where for a large portion of the year, for up to 10 hours a day, lightning continuously strikes it. This is, in my opinion, perhaps the most fantasy thing ever. You put something like this in your game you have so many fun questions you get to answer. Why is the lake continuously bombarded by the heavens? How has life changed and adapted to live in this environment? What might be hidden here? Has the constant lightning affected the geography? So many possibilities.

Underwater Caves

Underwater caves are terrifying, underwater cave diving is one of the most horrifying ways to die I can imagine and some people do that for fun. Now, you might be wondering, how would you have underwater caves in a land of floating islands? Simple, you come to one island that seems to have a small lake or even a cave entrance on it's surface, and as you go down you realize this thing is mostly hollow. Hell, could even have some sneaky portals to other planes if you wanna make a proper huge maze

Anyway, this is just a few of the ideas I've had so far

Now I just need to actually figure out the best way to write and depict them, and also figure out a system to use, and finish the overarching story, and...

Ocean Cave

Underwater caves can be dangerous in Ark: Survival Evolved, but on a giant sea turtle the Mariana Caverns of Fjordur is a pretty easy one!

Hide Away - little snake hiding away. My original art made in Procreate, please credit if you re-use. 

[Image description: a sideview of a underwater cave, showing the rocky bed of the lake and a cave lit by yellow crystals tucked away within it. Above there’s a small sandy beach, a couple trees, and a tiny white rabbit on the beach. Sunlight shines on the water above. The water has wavey green plants growing within. As the water gets deeper it gets darker, until its nearly black at the bottom. At the bottom is the mouth leading to the gave, and within the cave is a giant blue serpent. The serpent is like a dark blue snake with a diamond patter to its scales, except it has purple fins on its tail and alone the top of its neck. It has its little face in the watery entrance to its cave, sticking its tongue out to sense. End image description.]

Do you enjoy swimming? I love being in the water; I would spend an entire day snorkeling or just floating if I could!
