* The sadly short-lived [[Cross Gen]] comic ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meridian_%28comics%29 Meridian]'' features floating islands over a poisoned and barely-livable surface. They are held aloft by a substance called "floatstone" woven into the rock (and floating ships to travel between them, made with special floating wood). There was even a completely artificial island. Cities had to be careful about adding too much mass, though, or collect a type of floating coal to stay up. One such city ends up dropping. |
