Care to help me worldbuild by asking me questions about my world, cultures and whatever you want. Inspired by the above map. I have included an excerpt from the novel I'm currently working on. It follows a documentarian as they record oral stories, compile diary entries, letters, and more into a record of the new age that has just begun.

To my dear readers
The year is 876 of the age of Roshgyr, or I suppose it was until yesterday morning at 6:47AM. The news of the emergence of “The Rock” has ushered in a new age. One day a massive airsea spans from Harrandin all the way over to Roshgyr and down to the Gellard Democracy, yet as one very stressed deep cloud schooner saw, A new plateau poured from below the clouds, striking up into this new, unknown land between us all. So now the year is year 1 in the age of the rock? Well I suppose until a better name than “The Rock” has been found.
Enclosed will be stories from the recent years at the end of the last age as well as new experiences from the world as it changes around us. I already have an agent on a landship roster set to document some of the first exploration on “The Rock”. As well as agents on each of the major plateaus to chronicle how they change with the new age. We know nothing thus far except for the history from the dawn of each previous Plateau, to consider the next few years to be ones of trepidation would be of wise advice.
I look forward to providing a primer and raw historical document to the dawn of a new age across all the plateaus. I make no promises but I do endevour to not let you down, I understand the gnawing itch that curiosity can spread and as we have heard again and again from any perennial with a soapbox, these times of change can see nations painted red with blood. However they can also quickly ensnare us in unity, community and a spark of life that makes life such an adventure.

Apologies for the rough state of my map, it's still quite rough as I flesh it out. I'm usually a screenwriter so adjusting to the new medium has been an amusing challenge as well. But I suppose one has to suck at something before they don't suck, so here we are.
