A floating sky island above the seas of pradise islands suddenly appears after too much excess magic openning portals by ursoths and co causes a rift big enough for a chunk Notts floating island to pass through. After the elders appraisal Horin declares that the newly appeared island contains the Notts mythical kingdom of old before darkness and wrath of inan'esh consume the Notts homeland.
With much persuasion from cities ruler the Nott race finally relents to sharing their technology/magic empowering the "wings" equipment enabling adventurers and arlorians to soar the skies. Thus the great exploration quest begins. Horins warned that the magic embued in the wings can only be used in Notts homeland.

Anyway since we know the STS uses a powerful game engine, it is very likely that they can produce a map with cloudy or sky-ish or transparent map that gives us the illusion of floating/gliding or flying as we walk and explore the maps.
