The major groups of people in the Wild Blue.
"The Organizations"
General Description:
A collective of various organizations that came together and founded Nightport many years ago. They also remotely control Cloud City. Each organization has their own inner structure and laws that vary drastically, but the "law of the land" typically applies to outsiders. The leaders or representatives of each organization come together to collectively discuss affairs and make decisions. Despite their piratical ancestry, they're really quite civil...usually.
Sub-groups:
- The Fire Angel Association
- The Orange Scarves
- The Jade Razor
- The Cobalt Sisterhood
- The Voiceless Ones

Haven (Faction)
General Description:
The leadership of Haven is electoral and each guild, union, or district has fair and equal representation within the government. While not a perfect system, there are strict checks and balances in attempt to prevent significant wealth disparity and the formation of classes within the social structure.

Locations
The major and minor places across the Wild Blue.
Adrift in the Blue
General Description:
The worlds of the Wild Blue float in a sky of breathable gases circling a small, cold star. Scholars believe that the star is made from pure Essence—the strange energy that sorcerers channel for their magic. This “solar system” is much smaller than you might think—it takes about six weeks to cross from one side to the other on a standard sky ship. Most of the worlds of the Empire are so closely positioned that it takes only a day or two to travel from one to another.
Major Territories Visited:
Encountered Groups:
- The Imperial Guard
- The Crew of "The Blusing Countess"
Cloud City
General Description:
An illegal mobile mining platform that doubles as a home for thousands. The city chases the large storms of the Wild Blue in hopes of easier access to the thick gases of the depths that get kicked up, which it then sells to the Free Worlds. With the right equipment, ships can mine these gases for pockets of diluted Essence. Chasing the storms can lead the city into Imperial skies and the occasional run-in with an Imperial cruiser.

Haven
General Description:
The most prominent of the Free Worlds. Here, in the sprawling city hubs, the Trade Union tries to impose some order on the bickering clans and factions of the Free Peoples. Slavery is outlawed here, so many ex-slaves make Haven their home.

Ilysium
General Description:
The capitol world of the Empire, home to the great noble houses. Ilysium is rich and decadent, attended by servants, slaves, and the elite bodyguards of the nobility.
Points of Interest:
- Ruins of an Unnamed Research Facility
- ????
Present Factions:
- The Great Noble Houses
- The Imperial Guard
Nightport
General Description:
Unlike other worlds, Nightport does not rotate, which means one face is always in darkness. It is on this side that pirates and smugglers have built a hidden port city in which to carry out their nefarious dealings. This hive of scum and villainy is a dangerous place, but almost anything may be bought or sold there, including secrets. There is a smaller, isolated settlement on the star-facing side of the world. This is jokingly referred to as "Lightport," because it's funny. Also because the pretentious elven researchers that reside there gave it a pretentious name that's difficult to pronounce.
Points of Interest:
- The Docks
- The Back Market (Stall Vendor Area)
- The Crooked Row (Main Market Row)
- The Whispering Pits
Present Factions:
Olympia
General Description:
The staging world of the Imperial Sky Fleet. From here, expeditions are launched into the colonial expanse and all across the Wild Blue. Olympia is also home to the finest brewers and distillers in the Empire.

The Lower Depths
General Description:
The heavier gases form a dense layer of fog below the “sky” of the Wild Blue. This fog is corrosive —people need to wear gas-masks to breathe and most airship hulls will start to corrode after a single exposure. Pirates and other criminals sometimes use the lower depths to evade Imperial patrols and launch raids from hiding. Unfortunately, the depths are home to sky squid and other monstrous things....

The Remnants
General Description:
A swirling maelstrom of spinning world-shards. The Remnants are almost impossible to navigate, even for the best airship pilots. It’s said that the pirate king, keeps his secret fortress somewhere deep within the Remnants and only those who know the secret of the true course can ever reach it.

The various people across the Wild Blue and beyond!
Arabella Hilless
General Information:
Bones hired her as a mercenary. She has a lip piercing and a provocative nose piercing. Arabella is straight to the point, and quick to trust, as if eager to make friends, possibly resulting from being bullied as a child. She is uncharacteristically afraid of small animals. |

Graff "The Fat Man"
General Information:
Owner and sole (non-Bones-made abomination) worker of "The Missing Finger," a small dining stand in the vendor stall area of Nightport's market. He is a rather large man who seems to have quite the history of piracy and adventure based on his looks. He is, in fact, missing one of his fingers. He's very well-connected with some unsavory types and can find unofficial work and hard-to-get information for those who are looking. |

Cousin to Roza, Jackie is the receptionist at The Whispering Pits' Office of Enforcement. She seems ferociously loyal to The Orange Scarves and the leadership of Nightport itself, though she heavily questions the viability of The Voiceless Ones' place in the government. Known to be a hopeless romantic, she also comes off as if she considers everyone else to be an idiot. |

Owner and head chef of "Delights from the Deep," a restaurant in the main market row of Nightport. He's very nimble, and usually thinks before he acts.

General Information:
Just a super cool goblin that hung out with the crew of the [Insert Ship Name Here] for a while. I was basically the IRL equivalent of a tutorial quest-giver.

Usouwynn Hardbelt
General Information:
She is the daughter of one of the finest shipwrights in Nightport. While she specializes in restoring "recovered" ships, she and the other workers of the Hardbelt Shipyard are capable of creating fine vessels from the ground up. Usouwynn is almost always accompanied by two assistants, an elf and a gnome, who often bicker between themselves. She speaks in a hushed whisper, as if always trying to prevent others from overhearing her conversations. Some say that she easily holds a grudge, which might might lead some to believe that her husband stays with her because he's too afraid to leave. |
