...and which corresponds to the Black Sea. Thera is obviously being
set up to be an Atlantis: all that profligate use of magic to make
floating buildings... and when the magic goes away, it will literally
fall. Did the Theran Empire book mention anything about the place
being a volcano? I could just imagine them putting up big enchantments
to keep it from erupting, then the whole mountain explodes shortly after
the floating buildings go crashing into the ground...
