New World/Old World
The new world is in many ways quite similar to the old world. Its vast oceans hold island orbs that float lazily along, illuminated by jellyfish-like things of every size and color that traverse the great space between.
Everything is propelled by an invisible current that likes to align the orbs into archipelagos and swirl the jellyfish things into pretty patterns.
Occasionally, white, pearl-like objects can be found in suspension just off the floating island orbs. They are beautiful, just like the pearls of the old world, but they are not valued as much, as most travelers passed them by without giving much thought of the iridescent spheres.
A pity, for they did not realize that it was the pearls' luminescence that lit the islands at night when the jellyfish things went to sleep.
No traveler had yet stopped at any of the islands, having only knowledge of their own orb back in the old world. They will keep on traveling, until they reach the orb that is most like their own.
There, it will be the start of a new life, new world meets old world, and the travelers will finally put down their hats and lay down their heads.
It will be home.
