Rational Element (Skies of Azoria)

Trapped by soaring prices and dwindling opportunity, financial advisor Theon Reeves dreams of a fresh start on Azoria — a forgotten world of floating islands and strange physics. He convinces his partner Helena and a band of skilled colonists to risk everything for a new beginning, free from the constraints of Federation society.

But Azoria holds challenges they never expected: failing technology, bitter divisions, and the dangerous potential of the very element that keeps the islands aloft. Over decades, Theon guides the colony's rise from hopeful outpost to sprawling Republic, facing betrayal, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of leadership in a world built from scratch.

From the world of Azoria — tales of floating islands, steam-powered dreams, and hidden dangers.
