Eva-Beatrice Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Through a gigantic swarm of golden butterflies, the island of Rokkenjima (which had been previously floating above the Pacific Ocean), has descended. It now sits between Japan and the United States, and is roughly the size of Australia. Midway now no longer exists, and every man-made structure that was present on the island has been relocated. Anyone or anything else that was below the island was moved out of the way before the island's descent. Rokkenjima is very similar to Japan in terms of climate and geography. For now, the island is not split up into provinces.

Cenna Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice although the wave an island that big would make if it "fell" from the sky would flood the majority of the planet.... Quote The Caledonian Empire--In Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Haggar Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It gently descended with help from the golden butterflies.Not sure if that would help. The sheer amount of water displaced would rival the melting of the ice caps for sea level rise. Unless...did the butterflies go down, take out an equivalent volume of sea bottom, and rise into the air with it? Does the island float or have some sort of structural support? If it floats, is it anchored? I imagine the climate would be tropical at that latitude. So it'd be pretty nice to visit before mosquitos took up residence. And most importantly, do these butterflies even lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prezyan Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The Ministry of the Exterior is incredibly mad about this development. Several important Narvanese shipping lanes are now gone, and ships must now be redirected around the landmass.

Mike Haggar Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 At least we don't have to worry about air routes, since it's usually shorter to move just south of the Bering Strait than it is to fly across the Pacific Ocean. At least, if you consider the actual 3D Earth and not one of those terrible Mercator maps like in the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamea Arano Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 We at the witch senate have contributed to the formation of the new continent. We're dropping a island on the south end of the island in the Pacific Ocean what will make this island seperate will be a small canal. It is up to Eva-Beatrice if she wishes to build a bridge to link both islands together for vehicular travel. (That means update the map. Island will be on the south side. Randomly generate the island's shape to your own free will. It will be half the size of the island you placed) Quote Terms of Service | Wiki | Contact Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva-Beatrice Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Maybe magic should be regulated in some kind of treaty... Rokkenjima rejects such a treaty. The Eastern Asian Republic surely would as well. We only take orders from the Witch Council back home. 1 Quote When the seagulls cried, none were left alive.
