A fanciful depiction of a skyness. Midjourney.

A skyborne island of earth formerly used as a residence by giants and presently by sky people and some dragonfolk, a skyness is thought to be the product of antediluvian titancraft. The principle skynesses of the northern hemisphere are home to the nations of Medibgö and the Saikusahi. Other skynesses include Flampesha and Bambnaskügchawr. Smaller skynesses either following greater skynesses in close proximity or observe the orbit of a greater skyness, but in a location that is analogous to the Lagrangian point of planetary orbits. In the modern West, there are today no known natural skynesses outside of the Medibgóëse Skyness System. Gakasane and any possible skynesses in the Two Bahunas or the New World are not part of this consideration.

A lesser Medibgóëse skyness, also known as a dvaidb, over Pytharnia

In the Medibgóëse Language, a skyness of any size is called a sväsge and a skyness smaller than one ddwmir in width is called a dvaidb. A sväsgowrggreblagh, often shortened to owrggreblagh or just greblagh, is a lesser skyness that uses the same orbit as a great skyness, but occupies the second of the two 'Lagrangian' points. For this reason, it is said to 'follow' the great skyness. A satellite skyness that is in the first group, that is the first group to be encountered when moving ahead of the great skyness of the same orbit, is said to 'lead.'


Legend recounts that powerful titan wizards created the skynesses before the Flood of Aturyanda. Some aeronesologers, most of whom are autochthonist, believe that the skynesses are natural phenomena that have existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
