You guys could get a discount if you join up with me here. C'thun, you in particular, since your region is already contiguous.

Although I'm not sure it should border Yamayunqa. Yamayunqa is starting to look a little more cosmopolitan than I'd like.

Gibeele pulls out a Freedom Act in the form of an odd pulsating egg and roughly squeezes it, allowing the clotted fluid to fall on a small area of land near the peak of Yamayunka.
Name: Shrine of Freedom
Neighbors: None yet
Region: Yamayunqa
Traits:
 + Further focuses and intensifies the mountaintop's ritual-boosting effect, for those with freedom in their hearts.
 - None may build upon or alter the sacred ground, lest they be cursed by the freedom of others.
Description: A flat stone foundation, a tier below the peak itself. Twisted pillars litter the ground, evidence that the stone itself was allowed to flow freely, drippling from the skies. Though this is a shrine, there is never any ceiling to hide the sky, reminding one of the everpresent choice to fly away.

The now squozen egg is held limp in Gibeele's teeth for a moment, but is momentarily refilled as Gibeele breathes an incarnae spark into it. The god then tosses the egg down to the Driftlands to hatch.
Name: Drift King
Affiliation: Drift King, Gibeele
Class: Creature
Traits:
 + The King is an exceptional flier, and enjoys nothing more than to race around the changing landscape.
 + Scales of chitin protect the King from the worst effects of magic.
 - Any dragon needs a hoard, so the King may occasionally relieve others of their shinies to grow His own hoard.
Description: This is a former winged eel, now grown into a huge fluffy insectoid dragon: a serpent lined with colorful butterfly wings, plated with white-furred chitin, and with a head topped by branching antennae. It feeds not by devouring lesser organisms, but by dipping its proboscis into wells of magic energy and drinking them dry. The King's domain is in the Driftlands which it protects from any fell incursions, but leave it be and it will not bother you.

Gibeele leaves the Transformation Act out to rot in its own, and after a while the putrescence begins to infect the shifting tissue of the Realm, mutating and building into strange, violent forms.
Name: Snappers
Affiliation: The Moral Compass
Class: Outsiders
Traits:
 + Adept shapeshifters, Snappers may change form for stealth or offence, but not change size.
 + Equipped with a fine tuned and sensitive Moral Compass, Snappers only resort to violence when they feel it is the best choice.
 - Violence is the last resort, but also the second-first, after doing nothing. Snappers don't know how to do anything but kill.
Description: In their neutral form, a Snapper is a limp pool of undifferentiated tissue, with a metal disk floating in the middle; a literal compass.

HH checks his notes briefly, placing them back into his overalls when he's done.

"I don't recall this new-fangled 'magic' being a thing. Is your poor critter going to starve?"

Qwitzikottle Invests his acts into another two regions theoretically involved in Shinka's regional project

Spoiler: Trunthia Mazia (WALL OF TEXT) (click to show/hide)

Name: Trunthia Mazia
Neighbors: Trunthia Multa (direct vertical [below] adjacency)
Traits:
 + Stable Environment; no matter what time of year, day or night, so on- there is very limited change in temperature, humidity, so on at a local level, this largely prevents unexpected droughts or floods, sudden heatwaves or cold snaps, and other such sudden and unpredictable natural disasters caused by weather from happening.
 + Mineralogically blessed; This region contains significantly above average amounts of a variety of minerals
 - mostly Subterranean; as implausible as it sounds given that the world is made of floating islands- most of this Region is literally underground, rendering most plants and creatures native to its environs unable to survive in other regions, in addition this state of affairs heavily limits how much- if any- daylight actually reaches the livable area.
Description: A Region below a region- Trunthia Mazia extends below Trunthia Multa both literally- as it is a second region's worth of rock attached below- and figuratively- as it is made up of vast caverns and interconnected cave systems, some few of which extend to connect one region to the other.
Trunthia Multa is an... exceptionally 'vertical' region in addition to being an exceptionally solid region, it can be divided into 4 'layers', each of which is large enough for a certain number of 'provinces' and each of which is literally lower than the 'layers' preceding it.

  Firstly there is the 'fungal jungle'- which contains an area large enough for '4' provinces
  Secondly there is the 'crystalline forest'- which contains an area large enough for '3' provinces
  Thirdly there is the 'Steaming chambers'- which contains an area large enough for '2' provinces
  Finally there is the 'hollow' a singular massive cavern at the 'bottom' of the island that is the size of a singular province

The 'Fungal jungle' is comprised of sporadic caverns connected through a multitude of narrow branching caves- some of which function as rivers as well. the caverns of this layer are filled with dense fungal life growing on the walls, the floor, the ceiling, the fungi, even the fauna, not even the connecting caves of this layer are entirely safe from the encroaching growth. Notably, most- though not all species of fungi found on this level are poisonous. there only two "animals" found purely in this area- Rockstalkers and Wumuns.

  Rockstalkers are a species of omnivorous snail with a rough stony shell, they grow to between 3-4 feet in size. they have a semi-symbiotic relationship with several species of fungi- they provide nutrition and a method of spreading to the fungi, and in turn the fungi provide them with a layer of camouflage. They have a venom that possesses both anesthetic and paralytic properties. They are an ambush predator, waiting for prey to literally stand upon them before injecting their venom and slowly eating it while it still lives.
  Wumuns are a species of blind deaf and hairless rodents of 2-3 feet in length. possessing exceptionally limited intelligence- they make up for it with a resistance to most toxins found in the "flora" of their home layer- and what would be an excessive reproductive rate in any creature more suited to its environment. Wumuns are technically scavengers- eating anything that doesn't eat them, including fungi, rotting carcasses, dying animals, and other Wumuns.

The 'Crystalline forest' is comprised of many large caverns that are divided by clear or semi-clear crystalline columns and meandering caves that typically only connect a single cavern to another. there are one notable species of "flora", Glowshrooms- as well as a number of generic species. there is only one notable species of fauna- Glitterflies.

  Glowshrooms are a species of lightly glowing mushroom that only grow a foot tall at most. glowshrooms aren't toxic in the "traditional" methods- rather they have highly alkaline juices, which in turn produces horrible chemical burns on the flesh of most creatures- and indirectly forms another more directly toxic chemical when mixed into acid.
  Glitterflies are a species of transparent bee or wasp like insect that dig out nests or hives in the crystalline columns found throughout the layer. Glitterflies name comes from the glowing "honey" they produce out of Glowshrooms, and in turn store in their transparent hives. Glitterflies are "social insects" but do not have a singular "Queen", rather having several reproductive females at any given time. Glitterflies possess a stinger, but don't produce their own venom, rather they reuse the juices of the Glowshroom to horrific effect.

The 'Steaming chambers' are an area with significantly greater amounts of water than higher levels, as well as significant lava flows- in turn producing the "weather cycle" of the entire region within a region through vast amounts of water boiling off, steam rising to the higher levels, and in turn returning to here through the various "rivers" and "streams" that flow down. there are no notable flora native to this level. there are no notable fauna native to this level, but there is a correspondingly greater number of generic fish and amphibians native to this area as there is more water than higher levels.

The 'hollow' is the lowest section, as implied by its name, it is a singular mostly empty area the size of a province. rather than tunnels- it has a multitude of stone "bridges" spiraling from its lowest point to connect with the layers above, it possesses the largest gaps to the outer area providing plenty of light relative to other levels, even with most of the light being blocked off by the rest of the island above it. there is one notable species of flora here, Starmoss. there is no notable species of fauna native to here.

  Starmoss is a slightly yellow moss adapted to take advantage of what little light there is here, as there is still significantly more light here than other layers- it does not spread far beyond the bounds of this area. Starmoss is unique in that it seemingly glows in the light, looking like seams of gold on the "bridges".

There are two notable species of Fauna that are spread across all- or a majority- of the region, Swordsmenbeetles, and Shimmerwing moths.

  Swordsmenbeetles are exceptionally large beetles that grow roughly 5-6 feet wide and roughly 250-300lb, processing a large bladed 'horn' sticking out of their heads. Swordsmenbeetles are solitary creatures. Swordsmenbeetles are omnivorous, with herbivorous tendencies (plant / fungi preference, can eat meat). Swordsmenbeetles are highly aggressive to other creatures of similar size, ramming into them to assert dominance. Swordsmenbeetles are Hermaphrodites who 'duel' to determine which one will be the female when two encounter each other.
  Shimmerwing moths are butterfly like insects roughly 1-2 feet in width. adult moths do not eat anything, but larva are omnivorous scavengers.  Shimmerwing moths lay their eggs in the 'Fungal jungle' where their larva will gorge themselves for several months before seeking out downward flowing water and produce a pupa, soon after reaching the 'Steaming chambers' they will emerge from their pupa and begin the arduous flight back to their hatching grounds in the 'fungal jungle'.

Spoiler: The endless blue (NOT WALL OF TEXT) (click to show/hide)

Name: The endless blue
Neighbors: Everything, (vertical [below] adjacency)
Traits:
 + Massive; This region takes up a significantly larger area, and in turn contains more 'provinces' worth space
 + Massive; This region takes up a significantly larger area, and in turn contains more 'provinces' worth space
 - insubstantial; This region near totally lacks solid land, resulting in anything sinking in it almost always falling out the other side- and providing practically nowhere to build permanent structures on
Description: a truly massive Free-floating "ocean" sitting 'below' most of the islands making up the rest of the world, home to a number of generic fish.

Spend both acts on the Central Garden region in the center of the plane, and add it to Shinka project

Spoiler: Central Garden (click to show/hide)

Name:Central Garden
Neighbors:All regions so far that haven't contested this (So no Driftlands I assume) also use this spot to encourage every future region to be a neighbor
Traits:
 + Lush: the ground is fertile and plenty of plants and critters live in the area
+ Up drafts: Upward winds exist all through the region (although sometimes other winds overpower it) allowing unpowered glide to reach higher altitudes and make flight easier for larger creatures
 - Hard to navigate, although well connected (Hopefully), the region is difficult to reach from any other region, The large number of small islands and the sometimes strong and chaotic winds and narrow passages makes flying through the region difficult to the uninitiated
Description: A large and in areas dense cloud of islands ranging in size from between a few meters to a few kilometers although the largest part of mass is of islands in the few hundreds meters size, with plants growing all across them, with an ecosystem of small to medium animals capable of flight and glide between the islands, with a few being completely bound to some of the larger islands

"Last I checked, that wasn't a possibility. Besides, life finds a way, my friend."

"You made someone feed off of something that doesn't exist than essentially say it is there problem? How is this creature supposed to go big and strong if you make it feed off of nonsense?"

[Egan_BW]

"Magic."

[Glass]

How is it, exactly, that a bunch of gods can just forget that they define reality? Gibeele is making a divine Creature, Harvest. Asking how it doesn't starve is about equal to asking how the Archangels don't starve.
There's magic. It's all divine magic. We haven't made anything that mortals - once they exist - will be able to use yet, but there is magic. The dragonfly will be fine.
