Floating Continents
by Andrew TheisenListing of the Floating Continents of the HW:
Hiak-Lor* : Home of the Hiakrai tribe of Neathar (a tribe that is unique to the HW, having domesticated the giant eagle after arrival there). (HW DM's Guide)
Oostdok: Properly called Valoin-Flaemaker, actually two islands that were merged into one on impact. Home of the Oostdok gnomes. (Dragon #162)
Ashmorain**: Home to the feathered serpents and a sort of magical fauna preserve (much as the HW itself preserves cultures). (HWA2)
Alphatia: Post Wrath, this is the largest floating continent in the HW. (And must surely have affected the Shadowfall somewhat significantly as a result?) (PWA 1010)
Cassia: Per PWA 1012, one of the "eight major floating continents". (PWA 1012)
Chijioke: Per PWA 1012, one of the "eight major floating continents". (PWA 1012)
Disa: Per PWA 1012, one of the "eight major floating continents". (PWA 1012)
Gowon: Per PWA 1012, one of the "eight major floating continents". (PWA 1012)
Kjell: Per PWA 1012, one of the "eight major floating continents". (PWA 1012)
Resi: Per PWA 1012, one of the "eight major floating continents". (PWA 1012)
Tama: Per PWA 1012, one of the "eight major floating continents". (PWA 1012)
*In HW DM's guide, it is noted as being "the lowest and largest" floating continent, yet it isn't mentioned in PWA 1012.
** I haven't done a proper calculation, but at a rough glance at the HWA2 map of Ashmorain, it looks like the continent is comparable in size- if not larger- than some of the "major 8" from PWA1012.
