an alternate floating island
Introduction
Fallen Isles, remade!"Fragments of the heavens have appeared overhead. Their presence casts a shadow over the world and foretells an ominous fate for all."
Originally Fallen Isles was intended to be an expansion on the Sky Biome. While I still maintain that the Sky Biome could use a content expansion in general; I no longer believe Fallen Isles is the place for that to be suggested. In the grand scheme of things, I wanted to reel Fallen Isles back into the alternate Terraria that is being established among my suggestions. To that end, I have removed all the expansion content and remade the alternate.
Fallen Isles is mostly influenced by angelic mythologies. There's a good deal of universe/story building here that you may or may not notice. But it's more appropriate when you have been witness or follower to my other alternates. Regardless of themes and tie-ins though, Fallen Isles, like all other alternate suggestions of mine -- is intended to be a stand alone alternate suggestion.
Enjoy!

This is a suggestion. And as such does not assume anything definitively. This means...
Balance is a non-issue; the numbers are provided to elicit an idea of what values an object could have. If the not-set-in-stone-imaginary numbers upset you, you're welcome to suggest other numbers, but they have no bearing on the suggestion changed or not.
Sprites are a non-issue; sprites have been provided, like balance, to help imagine the suggestion as a concept. In no way are any of the sprites final. Just like the numbers, they too are not-set-in-stone-imaginary things. This means that recolored, spliced, and unique sprites have no ultimate bearing on the suggestion. If any particular sprite upsets you, you are welcome to provide one of your own to remedy the not-actually-an-issue so that I may reject it.
This is an alternate. This means that Fallen Isles can spawn in a world instead of Floating Islands. It does not replace Floating Islands. As an alternate, Fallen Isles additionally does not mirror the values or gameplay of Floating Islands in a 1:1 ratio. It is it's own biome, not a recolor or reskin. Fallen Isles is also NOT an expansion. There is no additional content. Content included in Fallen Isles is a counterpart or replacement of existing content given to Floating Islands.
Lastly; as an alternate (and not an expansion or replacement), Fallen Isles does not assume to redefine class balance. I'm sorry if your favorite class isn't represented well in the suggestion. If Floating Islands represented all classes equally, so too would Fallen Isles.

Cherubs are depicted as holy elementals and caretakers of the heavens. Though legends also paint these creatures as benevolent, their behavior is anything but. Anything entering the realm of the Fallen Isles is immediately beset by Cherub to be driven away.
Cherubs behave similarly to Bats when attacking the player. Occasionally, they will halt in mid air and heal themselves and other enemies in the area for 30 health.
Legends and myths describe the Archangels as healers and warriors of light. It was thought that 1000s of years ago, Archangels lived with and among people. Now they have reappeared with the Fallen Isles, convincing some that the isles are indeed divine in origin. To the dismay of adventurers however, it appears that the Archangel's only purpose is to defend the isles with zealous ferocity.
Archangels slowly fly around the player. To attack, the Archangel will teleport close to the player and unleash a volley of 5 spears of light. This attack appears similarly to the Sky Fracture. Archangels only appear during Hardmode.
Empyrean Chest Loot
Sprite | Name | DMG | Power | Velocity | Mana | KB | Use Time | Rarity | Ingredients | Crafted At
Starfire acts as an early game Crystal Storm, firing small lime-green stars. Attacks made by Starfire have a small chance to cause a Star to fall dealing 15 damage. The effect is similar to the Starfury.
Empyrean Chest Accessories
Sprite | Name | Rarity | Bonus
Heavenly Tincture and it's derivatives are capped at 3 jumps (90 health over 30 seconds). The effect does not stack with itself. The effect cannot be "queued" up after the 3rd jump (providing infinite regeneration so long as the player is jumping). The player must wait 30 seconds before the effect can be initialized by a jump again.

Angler said:Swimming around those isles in the sky is one mean fish! It even has leathery fins and claws -- perfect for scaring people! Bring it to me!
