History
When the first men who survived the cataclysm had to survive on separate islands in the southern Crescent, they soon understood that to unite and protect each other was the safest and most viable way. Thus, for around 50 years, the islanders flocked to the Island of Kyan to form a community. When their numbers became too great, they built a bridge and expanded over to Shen, the adjoining southern island. Thus was born Kyanshen, the bridge city.
Around the fifth decade of the city, it was understood that the population was growing too quickly to safely expand on one island. What was once their strength soon became their weakness. Something quite organic happened in response to the problem : the people, who were already hardened mariners and fishermen, started living on the sea more than on land. The ships grew and grew, until a ship the size of a city was built from the mix of many other abandoned ships. So, in 55 OA, the Zenguan was launched, a ship so vast it could hold around, at the very least, five thousand inhabitants. This launching is seen as the birth of the Ever-Floating ships, as 5 years later, the Suwaru followed, a ship twice the size of its predecessor. To this day, most of the population lives on these two ships and in Kyanshen, and the rest preferred to remain on their own personal ships, usually flocked around the bridge city.
