(in my setting the moon is smaller but nearer). A sage from some other realm (a Githzerai) came to save them.  He had the Power of Limbo (to call elements into existence, only better than in the MotP), and started to summon a tower, with stairs and a chain to lift people and stuff up to the moon.  The construction took real long, years in fact.  As his new followers escaped the wars below by living in the tower, they started to feel bad from lack of air.   He then summoned air (and water), but air and water came to the tower from the planet (killing almost every one, except certain species who mutated).  The tower eventually reached the moon but broke appart when it made contact.  The chain remained in the middle, and as long as she move, there is gravity centered on it.  As the PC enter the world (from FR), the tower fragments are moving islands on cylindrical water world linking the earth and the moon.  The great storms at the base of the sea circle the planet, and some "jumpers" have capsules (giant walnuts, really! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) that permits them to haul rocks into the cylinder, making a living.  At the other end, the ancient sect guards what is on the moon (not the gods, but some mysterious world I'm still working on). As nature dwindled, the great druids moved the life tree on a km long giant turtle and move to the sea.Most living creatures live on giant turtles/island, on chunks of the tower etc., and no map is correct as things move.   It isn't Water World, as most islands are living and are more numerous than in the movie.I'm still working on it, but I had problem evaluating the effects of 99.99% of the water and air being sucked from the planet.  Could creatures still live (such as insects/plants?).  I killed all the underground races, and the marine ones were carried by the water.  I have an Air Genasi (mutated) race that lives on the storm, riding it with shield-like sails (and their levitate ability), and undeads all over the earth.While my setting is not like yours, I agree that moon/sun related issues are hard to implement in these cases.  Some brainiacs players will argue that it's impossible, while some won't bother and will enjoy.  I guess as long as the players experience the fantasy, no one will care if it's not realistic enough.Good luck with yours!</blockquote>
