Cogs and Fire everyone! *Cough cough* I mean hello. ^.^
Glad I caught this around its beginning. How about a new continent to add to your lovely map and a native species to go with it? Let me know what you think, totally willing to edit anything you don't approve of/ elaborate on anything unclear.
Name: Kelluva Isle (Kel-loo-va)
Geography:
Floating high in the sky, Kelluva Isle is one of the world's most mysterious landmasses. It is home to some of the rarest flora and unique fuana due to its high altitude. The northern shore is comprised of a small chain of ice-capped mountains that, while short compared to those found in Astival, are deemed too dangerous for normal humans to traverse due to lack of air pressure. The southern-most shore is a lush plains marked by small creeks and rivers that lead right over the edge of the island. At the current time the only known way onto the Isle is by flight to the port located on the underbelly of the island and then a hour and half long magne-train ride through the island up to the surface. At the center of the isle is a tall spire that produces a near invisible field that can trap oxygen produced by trees and will also filter out any toxins. The mechanics for this contraption are located beneath the spire underground, however access to this is restricted to a very select few. Despite the oxygen field, visitors are advised that the change in altitude might still require some getting used to and the rest stops have been made available along the ascent should anyone begin to feel ill.
Most of the isle is located above the cloudline giving it the appearance of floating in a sea of white.
Location (In Relation to Other Continents): Southwest of Feora

Name: Jukon (Jew-kon)
Appearance:
A jukon is a small rabbit-like mammal with wings and a long, thin, feather-tipped tail. On average they only grow to be about a foot and a half tall when standing on their hind legs. The main body is covered with a soft fur and comes in a variety of colors (brown, black, white, pale blue, pink rose); fur color and feather color usually match, variants excluded.
Behavior:
Jukons are known for being very friendly and none too shy, usually found in small groups of five to seven. If threatened, a jukon will completely extend their wings to make themselves appear bigger and squeal a warning. Should the threat remain, male jukon are likely to flee while females are more likely to attack by biting or kicking. Curious and playful, these social butterflies enjoy exploring and causing mischief, often stealing food or small trinkets from people so they will engage in a game of tag. None to surprising that this particular critter is an herbivore
Habitat: *Native to Kelluva Isle* Underground dens, large tree tops, and man-made hutches
Strengths: Nimble flight, Speed, Small size, Disarmingly adorable
Weaknesses: Loud noises, Small size, Overly friendly/trusting, Curiosity
Variants:
{There are several different variants for this species.}
Spotted Jukon: This term refers to a color variant that marks the fur with one of three unusual patterns; spots, spirals, or zig zags.
Devil Jukon: A much more aggressive strain of Jukon, this particular variant makes its home in the mountains and is only social with its own kind. Its appearance differs slightly from the regular Jukon, having thin wings like those of a bat and a sharp blade-like spade for the tip of their tail. This particular variant is only known to come in two colors, black for the males, and grey for the females. Albino variants rare but possible.
Armored Jukon: Known for their larger size, this variant of Jukon can grow up to be the size of a small dog. Too large for flight, the Armored Jukon developed a thick shell-like skin over their wings that they use to protect their bodies from predators. This variant tends to mind its own business but is known to be docile in nature.
