Tensora

Tensora is a part cloud, part land island located in the sky high above the severed sea. The island is inhabited primarily by cloud giants and gnomes, along with birds and forest wildlife.

Tensora was originally a cloud giant kingdom, made up from a collection of massive, solidified clouds. During the ages however, below Tensora, subterranean activity formed a massive, powerful pressurized water stream that shot up into the sky. This water stream was located right beside an island called the "Small Covent Island", a smaller yet similar island compared to its larger neighbor, Large Covent Island. The preceding whirlpool that appeared in the sea completely destroyed small covent island, and sucked its land into it, after which the ensuing first ever water stream shot it directly into the sky, where it then lodged onto the Tensora formation of clouds, adding an earthen region to the now larger island in the sky.

The stream of water, known as the "Underworld Cannon", is created by a giant underwater cave filled with gas. At some point in time, the gas pressure is too big and creates a crack in the ceiling, after which a giant whirlpool is created from the crack. Once most of the gas gets free, the seabed explodes, sending a giant stream upwards. This 'current' is maintained for approximately a minute, before collapsing. This event happens roughly twice a month.

The indigenous gnomish people of small covent island, who had lived there for centuries before the destruction of their island, were not completely eradicated when the destruction happened. Some of the gnomes survived, and were sent into the sky with the pieces of their island. Even though the pieces of small covent island were utterly mixed, separated, and destroyed, the gnomes were able to salvage natural resources and build a colony on the new Tensora. Skillfully remaining hidden from the cloud giants who investigated the incident very closely, they were not found and were able to establish themselves as residents on Tensora, primarily inhabiting only the earthen parts. In present day, the cloud giants are aware of the gnomish people inhabiting their island, and they have attempted to purge them. They have been unsuccessful though, since the gnomes have cleverly built their towns underground to hide themselves, and the cloud giants do not wish to destroy the earth of Tensora, since they consider it a treasured gift from Annam, the father of all giants.
