### 2.1.15: The Cloudlands

        Boats sail on the rivers,
        And ships sail on the seas;
        But clouds that sail across the sky
        Are prettier far than these.

        There are bridges on the rivers,
        As pretty as you please;
        But rainbows that bridge heaven,
        And overtop the trees,
        And build a road from earth to sky,
        Are prettier far than these.

           Boats Sail on the Rivers, Christina Giorgina Rossetti

Rumor tells of a magical floating country in the clouds, the work of some long-forgotten wizards. Blown hither and thither over the countryside by the prevailing winds, the Cloudlands can be reached only by flight -- and then only from the tallest of mountains.

The Cloudlands is home to three cities: Nimbus, Stratos and Aerovia.
