Going off of the Arzach / heavy metal bit I am thinking of having some personal flying mounts. I really don't want to have Air ships and what not thought. Those are becoming a fantasy staple and I want to be different. Another thing I don't like with air ships is they become flying bases of operation stocked with all the mundane tools a party can ever need. I need my folks to look for a thirty two and a half foot pole.
Instead I am going with mounts and a few areal cities. Carinthis was always intend to be a city of interconnecting towers and high bridges arching over the city. I am not sure if I want giant birds messing that up. Going with the stone bird aspect of Arzack may help me out here, having them too heavy for the many towers of carinthis.
I have imagined cities in a monument valley type desert that are high up on the stone or perhaps random giant arches of an old society as in arzack. I don't want blimps and balloons replacing air ships but I would be cool with them holding up cities in the sky. I have thought that would be nice as it almost would create a second tear of games as these places could not be accessed normally. I think World of Warcraft has a few spots that need flying mounts to reach just like this.
Perhaps with the rampant biotech people could become transhuman and fly on their own. I am not fond of this idea but its something that could work its way into my game. I want things to be mount heavy but if it excites the players maybe it could work.
