Kingdom of Odd
The Kingdom of Odd is a series of extremely mountainous
islands of floating rock that drift off the western Edge of Nowhere. Many of
the rock islands are now dominated by the endless glass like walls, minarets,
and towers of the Bedimm, the strange masters of the Flying Monkeys. These
walls and towers are very odd indeed, and appear almost to be grown from the
rocks rather than built in any conventional method. Are they made of glass?
This most assuredly is unknown as the only way to get to the Kingdom of Odd is
by becoming a captive of the Monkeys, and none ever return. They are often
described as jeweled because they seem to shimmer in the sun and can at times
appear translucent, but no one knows except the Bedimm themselves. The Islands of the Kingdom of Odd are very
far away from Nowhere, but on a clear day and armed with a quality far looker,
one could see the smokes billowing from the workshop factories of the Bedimm,
practicing no one knows what form of sorcery. Ever swirling about the towers
and peaks can be seen strange flying boats with wings, fluttering flying
carpets, and the tiny dots of flying monkeys going about their indefinable
business.



I like this background, and I love the painting of the floating castles. Reminds me of the 'glass towers' of the Formoians from Celtic myth - except their towers floated in the seas ;) Can't wait to read more.
