In those years, the descendants of the Almati first degenerated into a savage people, then developed into a society of peaceful seafaring folk. Above the waters of the Dramidj Ocean, they lived upon the circular shelves of stone which rested between the regular series of steeply rising cliffs. The lower of these shelves are often cloaked in either a forest of conifers or a tangle of mangrove trees, depending on their proximity to the water's edge, while the upper reaches are home to countless sea birds and exotic flora. The highest ledges have often served as a haven for dragon-kind, aarakocra, and the legendary phoenix. The descendants maintain several distinct settlements, travelling between the pillars upon massive flying insects. Their fear of the denizens which dwell in the depths prevents them from utilizing more conventional watercraft.Over the years, a new society laid claim to the lower reaches of the pillars. The aquatic races, known collectively as Thal, discovered the spires, even as massive forests of coral encrusted the submerged stone. The lower reaches of the mangrove roots, immense forests of kelp, and lush fields of sea grass often shroud the shallows of the pillars, while drifting swamps of floatweed partially cloak regions in shimmering shadows. The Thal rarely travel above the surface of the Dramidj, for they hold the surface to be sacred, referring to it as Synsaal, the barrier between worlds. In the eyes of the Thal, the air-breathing descendants are spoken of as Those Above."Mind you, the Background, now 13 pages or so, is due for a revision. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
