Hello,

Imagine a world of floating island, drifting apart and colliding. Some islands being torn apart by forse of man or nature. The inhabitants of these island are like survivors of a shipwreck, they survive with what they have. This build in a germanic (pre-medieval Dutch and German) style. This was what I was trying to achievieve in this world. 

Progress
As you might have noticed, the progress bar is at 20%, this is because I have a few things in mind to add, and because I need suggestions to continieu expanding it. Because I always like to edit my worlds and rebuild some houses or move some blocks, the maximum progress my projects are going to have is 95%. 

Builds
On the island in the middle I've build a meadhall, this is a place where people used to meet and party after a battle, it also serves a function simmilar to a townhall. On the island near the bottom, I've build a pre-medieval stronghold, it is basically one house or farm with a wall around it. This one also has a well and a stable.
On the island on the right of the meadhall there are two houses, these are based on the ones I've seen in a museum about how people in the netherlands used to live. It might not fit in the theme complete, but it'll do.
On the island with the lake, I've build a house/shop near to the water, I'm not very happy with the result and might just destroy it and replace it completely.

Creation
I've creatited all the islands by hand, the buildings too. None of the items in the world were made by other players. I have used MCedit to move some of the islands, and to insert some of the builds, as I've made some of them in a flat world.

The world is free to download by anyone, if you want to use it for a private server or world, then please go ahead. If you want to use it for an adventure map, please post the link to your creation in the comments, if you want to use it for anything else, then please ask it in the comments.

Update #1 - Some new islands : by Dystrus 04/22/2015 11:21:10 amApr 22nd, 2015

Hello,

This is the first update log of the skyislands.
I thought it might be a good idea to reveal some of the ideas I am going to add to the area.
    - A large tree
As you might know the germanic people worshipped trees and gods similar to the ones of the scandinavians. So I'm going to add a 'sacret' tree and perhaps a temple to wodon or freya.
   - Some watch towers
Other tribes and the roman empire threatened eachother. So watchtowers are required to have in a village.
   - More islands
Ofcourse more islands, some with house, and some small islands around the larger ones.

Now you know what will be coming in the next couple of updates I'll explain what I've added in this one.

 -I've filled most of the islands with stone.
 -Finished the bottom of the lowest island. (this one is still hollow)
 - Added long grass on most of the islands.
 -Added an island group on the left of the one with the waterfall.
This island group has an bridge going to the island with the lake. It has 3 houses. One broke when the island broke apart. I'm not sure whenever I like that one. 

Note:
I forgot to mention that it is possible to jump from the island with the meadhall to the one with the houses. This is possible when you use the smaller islands.
