 Arenaithya is a strange land. High above the planet, it floats on clouds. There are many such floating islands, but buttercat wood is the largest of them. It's said to be the center of all power on Arenaithya, and to be charged with the care of one of its creatures is an honor. Only owners of one of the illusive buttercats can even visit, though there are several smaller islands floating around it that buttercats fly to for leisure.
Its on one such island that the original caretaker met her first buttercat. Having been an explorer, Shayla had flown there trying to find new and exciting things.(The Arenaithyans have many flying devices) When she spotted the interesting little island, she landed to have a look. It was beautiful beyond belief, with flowers she'd never seen before, and grass as high as her waist. A few trees here and there broke the horizon, so she headed for one. Lounging under it on the beautiful afternoon, she was alarmed to hear a sudden shuffle to her left. Not moving a wink, a tiny little kitten with wings eventually waddled out of the grass toward her. What a sight! And with no fear, it came right up to her and began to cuddle. She felt the kittens mind brush with hers, and Shayla knew that she had a new purpose from that day forth. Apparently, the buttercats were lonely, and longed for adventure themselves. (Shayla named them buttercats, due to the half butterfly, half cat features. At the time she thought it was cute, though she's sure they have a better name they arn't sharing).
Flying back home, with the buttercat nestled on her shoulder, Shayla shared the discovery with her town. From then on, they became the guardians of the buttercats. Always, there is one Shayla, who is head guardian, in memory of her. Buttercats and Arenaithyans live together, discovering new floating islands and peoples all the time. And sometimes, even new buttercats!

maps
1. Buttercat Fields: A general place for buttercats and their caretakers to lounge and soak up the sun. There's a woodsy area, as well as open grass to enjoy.
2. Common Quarter: This is where most of the people live. Despite having the craftman's quarter located in its center, the general populace of the island reside here. There is no poor or rich area, as all the housing is equal in quality. Arenaithians work together.
3. Cloud Ship Quarter: This district is split in two. The norther half has mostly important people's housing (or those with extremely large families). Damian's house is actually located there. The southern half is quartered away for the cloud ship construction, innovation and docking. There is also a warehouse area in the south east of the zone, continuing on into the common quarter as indicated with the more elongated buildings. If you live in this quarter, you can dock your ship at your house (unless it's too large) Other residence dock at the docks extending over the islands edge.
4. Buttercat Hall: A building established for the caretaking of buttercats. There is a hospital wing, a nursery, a lounging area for the older cats, and other official offices. All ceremonies take place on its steps, as the whole population can fit onto them.
5. Craftsmen's Terrace: This building looks as if twenty houses were jammed into one large building. There are balconies everywhere, and it extends up from the ground twenty stories. In here are the craftsman. Jewelry, clothing, metals. All are worked here. On market day, there are booths set up all around the outside of the building, so one just has to walk the exterior to find what they want. There is of course a craftsman guild, and many more things included with that, but for shortness sake i'll not go into them as of yet.
6. Cloud Ship Yard: This building houses cloud ship construction on one side, and invention on the other. In the middle are offices and other official areas. All cloud ships are constructed and registered here, As well as classes on handling. There is also a bar, located in the back right of the building, for all workers, for them to let off steam after long journeys.
7. Cloud Ship Dock: Contains small stores for goods needed on journeys, as well as the main dock itself. It can hold hundereds of cloud ships, and if you're the owner of one, your area is registered for your docking only. It can be a nice evening walk, as the sights are spectacular due to the constant innovations and experimentations.
8. Everlast: This tree is the only remaining original tree on the island. All others had been planted since the coming of Arenaithians. There is a story about a woodsman attempting to cut it down, but a buttercat lept in the way at the last moment. The woodsman was so moved by the sacrifice, that he spared the tree, and cared for the buttercat back to health. Since then it's grown to magnificent hights, and often is a favourite playspot for teen buttercats, having finally gotten used to their wings a bit.

 Adventuring
Not only do caretakers take care of Buttercats, but many are also adventurers. Most make it a habit of bringing their friends along. There are many unexplored islands in Arenaithya, but to get to them, you've got to be able to fly. Arenaithyans have harnessed the powers of their floating islands and used them to create ships to travel between them. The ships are the trademarks of these people, and without them, they would cease to exist.
Houses on buttercat Wood Isle are equipped with docking for medium to small ships. However, if you've a larger one, the docks will be where you keep yours.
(eventually, ships will come in to play more, but for now, its just a little info on them)
