These are the causes of the elevation changes. In parts of Cynelsa it is not uncommon to see chunks of rock just start breaking from the surface and start floating because the Elemental Air Energy has sufficiently suffused them to do so. There are currently wards in place to try and keep things on the ground, since a huge crater with skiles above it is not currently a desired look."If you are looking for a mundane explaination of the elevation change at the earth rift (if you think you need to reduce the magic level of the setting)...Mount Royal of Montréal is the result of a hot spot below the crust.Is the air rift really tied to elemental air? I was assuming gaseous effects when I suggested compressed air and hang gliders. Is an earth rift more likely, given the anti-gravity effects that are generating that lovely pile of unobtainium? (I can see an industry made of stone importers bringing quarried rock into the area of effect and letting it "cure" to the desired degree of buoyancy.)The contour map looks good.</blockquote>
