Seaside

The Thicket is a forest of floatwood trees, tangled about the roots by vaporweed into a group; while considered wild territory by skyships and most of those who consider themselves part of civilization, quite a few creatures dwell amid the trunks and branches, including wind serpents, cloud sprites, and those flying beings who found themselves in the Gulf rather than the Infinity they hailed from originally. Lodestones have been harnessed in multiple places to provide heat, for those who need it, and a way to cook, for those who prefer it. In practice, the Thicket is a communal space, far calmer and more peaceful than the stories of skyships that have seen wind serpents flitting through the branches would have anyone believe.
