Skies of Nazca location and island descriptions
CURRENT ISLAND LAYOUT

FLOATING ISLANDS
WINTERBOURNE - An ice covered floating Island, contains penguins and other arctic animals, as well as crystals.

EDEN - A floating island with arch and two waterfalls will have only wood and vegetation to harvest.

KRONOS - A large floating island off beach coast with two levels and lake will have a small mix of all harvestable items except salt. It will also contain an abundance of silk.

HELIOS - A set of three connected, floating islands will have salt and sand. This island will not contain wood, vegetation, or silk items.

INFERNO - This floating island has lava is bleeding into the ocean, causing an island to form below it. As time passes, the lava will stop flowing, and the island below will become habitable. INFERNO will then just be a hull in the sky. For now, it contains the things you’d need to build adobe like structures.

MOTARI NORTH - This small, floating island can be accessed using a small path in the sky. Run or fly to enter this crypt like island, rich in resources.

SUMAI - A lush, green island, which is currently uninhabited. It’s cute! There may be a small dwelling here, if you look hard enough. Rumor has it, the aliens accidentally fortified this mysterious dwelling, and it cannot be destroyed. Looks can be deceiving!


THE MAIN ISLAND
Axis Mundi is the large Super Mountain, located on the west coast of Nazca. Below, you will find a large, open mouthed cave. There are many entrances to explore. If you are facing the front of Axis Mundi, you will see the Arctic region with its below freezing temperatures to your left. To the right of Axis Mundi, you will locate the jungle region, dreaded by even the most seasoned explorers.

Axis Mundi houses many secrets, and should not be overlooked. This part of the map is still under construction so it's best NOT to build here for now.
Axis Mundi runs the entire length and width of Nazca.

THULE is a giant, cliff like island located in the water. Thule has a giant cave under it for those brave enough to find it. It is rumored that the cave houses riches beyond your dreams, and would be an ideal place to build a fortress.

THE OUTLANDS are flat and dry, a hot desert with minimal vegetation. As you explore, you will encounter mountains which lead to more vegetation and cooler weather.
Brahmapura is the mountain on Nazca which contains a pool of lava in its center. Brahmapura may look tame from the islands inlet, The Dragon's Tail, but when you start making your way to the flat surfaces on top you will realize just how life threatening this mountain really is. If you can survive, the top of Brahmapura is ideal for building. You will also see The Cave of Elements, which is updated regularly.

Dagger Mountain is Brahmapura’s sister mountain. Dagger Mountain is much more tame than Brahmapura, and is ideal to build on.

The Muspelheim Jungle is located between Brahmapura and Dagger Mountain. Muspelheim is a hot and murky jungle. It may be small, but it is lethal.

Barzakh is located behind Dagger Mountain. There is a coastal area ideal for building. Beware, however- proceed too far east and you will encounter Mount Doom!

Mount Doom contains one of Nazca’s most densely populated dragon habitats. It has a forward facing waterfall, and an archway bridging the two halfs of the mountain. You may also encounter a Wyvern or two!

Dragons Den erupts from the ground like a Dragon’s claw. Sacrifices were commonly offered to Wyverns here.

Hatchet Island is located at the base of Axis Mundi, nestled in between the arch and the beach. From the sky explorers can see how the island got its name. The “handle” of the island is home to the beavers. The “blade” of the island contains The Tower of Babel and a World Eater.

Anachroternal is below WInterbourne, and off of the coast of Hatchet Island. This island is dry, hot, and very deadly. Anachroternal is the Monster Island of Nazca. Many Wyverns are spotted in the skies around this island, as well as Giganotosaurus, T-Rex and other monsters that you wouldn't want to tangle with. The island has an abandoned cave-like shelter, commonly referred to as the Ruins of Nazca, which was once used by settlers who tried to survive here.
