Shambala's most reliable news source and weather forecast! Not exactly a newspaper, more like a huge banner hanging on a giant pole at every major city withe the latest information on each of the islands written on it for all to see. It is updated once a week.

Here a small review of the plot that has occurred so far will be updated to allow new members to better understand the happenings of Shambala thus far.

This is where profiles go once approved.

Want to know who the most notable and distinguished people are in the world of Shambala? Be them heroes or villains, you can find them all in here.

Be respectful and thread softly on these grounds, for here rest the the fallen heroes and foes of Shambala. Be them those who fought for good or those who brought evil, it is not a wise thing to disturb their sleep, not in Shambala which lies on the ether belt, where the souls of the departed are said to find their final rest and merge with all that is.

A large mountain in the center of Gaea that towers over the island in the sky. Named for the man whom tried to touch the sun.

Gaea's most famous tourist spot. Why? Because it's the biggest party city in Gaea. The city is infused with jazz and the blues of the old world and always awake. It's become the epicenter of most holidays because of it's foot loose style.

A smaller seedy town. The Vegas of Shambala. Casinos, love hotels, bright lights. It's the ultimate place for a man of lesser ambition to blow a paycheck.

This blooming urban district is home to the largest city in all of Gaea.

A large gigantic castle that lies within the center of Gaea. The castle belongs to the famous Saria family and is under their control. The castle is heavily guarded by well trained knights and is protected at all hours of the day. It is also where the three islands hold their meetings.

A small valley outside of Alanis. This leads to the bridges that connect the floating islands in the merchant town of Odyssey, which was built around them. The islands use a very unique bridge system.Rather than rickety wood they have stones stacked on each other to form a doorway. Shimmering light flows from the runes carved into these stones. By walking through you’ll arrive on the island that door is connected to.

There is a small peninsula that extends away from the island out for a good distance. Past this point there are several stepping stone sized chunks of rock that lead off as far as the eye can see. From here you can see the full beauty of the ether belt.

Nine towering towers that seemingly exetend high up into the skies. The towers have numerous purposes such as controlling the weather and sight seeing from above. The place also contains the infamous school for teaching the mystical to young students.

Due to the effects of the weather controlling towers their is a area that is heavily affected by the magic. Thanks to that the place is covered in a thick fog and is also highly dangerous because the magic can have unknown effects on the land.

Old ruins originally devoted to the study of magic and the development of the Grandus Arcanum and the Magnus Arcanum. They pre-date the towers and ancient deadly magic flows within it's halls. It was abandoned during mysterious incidents 100 years ago.

It’s a large cave into the hills of the Zakythos. Here pure ether collects over time into crystals. These can be harnessed by mage’s to produce an amplifying effect on spells. These can be further refined at the towers.

A place where people come from all over Shambala to help recover the lost technologies of the old world. The men and women of Deist are the reason for the Aerosailers and the other technologies of this world.

Docks designed to produce and port Aerosailers. These large ships are useful for transporting goods between islands, pleasure cruises as well as searching for new islands out in the Ether belt.

Using the more advanced knowledge of Deist this medical ward treats severe wounds. Not to mention the technology required to upgrade humans with electronic components. This is an odd mix of magic and lost-technology and as such it’s not exactly a science

These minds are huge intricate tunnels into the floating island. Some are still active wilst others are abandoned and highly dangerous. But I’m sure nothing will EVER happen right? …. Right?

Ares is located in a small valley between two cliffs. As such the town had to grow up into the cliffs rather than being able to sprawl out like a normal city. The strange architecture of the homes built into the cliffs makes this a huge tourist spot.

The Hunter's Hall is a large building near Ares, where Bounty hunters gather to offer their services. It is here where people from all over Shambala come to when they are in need of bodyguards, mercenaries and even assassins. The place looks like an armed fortress from the outside; inside, it resembles an indoor market where you can buy all sorts of weapons and items, some legal, some not. In the center of it all is the hall, where all bounties are displayed, and hunters register for the chance to do exclusive, well-paid jobs. Needless to say, it's not a pretty place for sight-seeing, and may turn dangerous at times if you're not careful.

A huge current of ether that flows around Shambala the outskirts of Shambala. The current carries a wave of smaller islands and lands but they rarely have any life upon them. The ether belt is also a very dangerous place and a hideaway for pirates.

A small island not far from Shambala. It's always surrounded by a heavy fog and only pirates share the secret to navigating it with each other. This is the one place pirates are truly safe from the long reach of the law.

a small group of tightly packed islands just beyond Pirates Cove. This is as far as any sailor with a good mind abotu him will go from the islands. From here on out are the dangerous uncharted skies of Shambala.

A desert like plain that floats beyond Shambala. The world is mostly deserted but its been known that people wanting refuge usually come to this place. This place is moslty a desert area with little to no animal or plant life.
