Continent Lore

In the vast jungles of Siphyrea, life thrives in distinct layers, each dancing to its own wind's rhythm. The ancient forest giants create a world of multiple canopies: the Crown Zone at the highest level catches fierce upper winds, its leaves shimmering like a silver-green ocean; the middle Whisper Zone carries the sweet scents of flowering vines on moderate breezes; and the Shadow Zone below harbors subtle air currents that weave through the darkness like spirits.

According to legend, it was among these majestic layers that the Breeze Dancers first appeared to our ancestors. These ethereal beings, translucent as morning mist and graceful as windblown silk, drifted between canopy layers with impossible ease. They taught our forebears the art of reading the winds and the construction of the great Sky Wells – massive vertical tunnels carved within the hearts of the eldest trees.

These remarkable structures harness the natural wind currents flowing between canopy layers, creating an intricate network of ventilation and transportation that serves as our civilization's lifeblood. The Sky Wells' smooth wooden walls, polished by centuries of use, guide spiral wind patterns that carry passengers in specially designed wind-sail platforms between different levels of our treetop cities.

In the quietest hours, when morning mist rises through the Wells like breath through a flute, many claim to hear the whispered songs of the Breeze Dancers, calling us to remember the old ways of wind and wood. These sacred spaces where all three layers of our world meet have become more than mere transportation routes – they are living monuments where the wisdom of the Breeze Dancers endures.

Every Siphyrean child learns within these Wells that to understand the wind is to understand life itself. The Sky Wells stand as testaments to our ancestors' ingenuity and the enduring partnership between the people of Siphyrea and the winds that shape our world.
