Elesium Rising - a play-by-post rpg

Elesium, a paradise amidst the clouds. The flying city is a wonder to behold and a treasure trove of mechanical magnificence. For five hundred years, the best and brightest of humanity have survived and thrived while the world below has become a dark wasteland smothered in a thick blanket of churning, poisonous cloud known as the Maelstrom to those who live below. If it can be called living... But live they must, for the very survival of those above relies on a steady supply of the green stone known as flagesium, which in its refined state enables the Sky-ships to fly and the City of Elesium itself to remain aloft.
