However, this is a fantasy world- Magical technology replaces or supplants purely physical devices, leading to a different patchwork of knowledge and questions as to the true nature of the sky high above. Navigate the unknowns of a new frontier, the limits of your budget, and the vagaries of trying to discover what lies above the world!
