The Above exists much in the same way our own world exists. It is considered the alpha world, or the civilized world to many. It was the origin of humans and other sentient beings, and the place their culture and history began. It is simple in terms of the environment, with regional biomes and civilizations spanning the world. Steam-based technology has been readily developed in The Above, giving its inhabitants many useful technologies and abilities to enhance their daily life.  

Things you can find in The Above:

1. Steam powered trains, manufacturing, and other quality of life tools.
2. Humans and other sentient humanoid beings.
3. Many earth creatures, as well as unique fantasy creatures and animals.
4. Large developed cities, rural areas, cultural villages, and settlements.

Things you will NOT find in The Above:

1. Electricity, long-range communication, air-travel (aside from dragons of course).
2. Large macro-predators that do not conform to the world (OCs that resemble dragons, monsters, etc)
3. Mythological creatures and beings (things taken specifically from our own worlds cultures and their myths, gods, demi-gods, etc)
4. Cities and cultures that greatly resemble our own cultures and regions (Asian cultures, native cultures, etc. Everything in the Above is uniquely developed with only small inspiration taken from existing cultures.)
5. Large amounts of fantastical magic. (While magic exists, it is not extremely prominent everywhere, nor a focus of life in the world).
