The idea of a floating village was not new. It had been somewhat down above where the water elves made their homes in the man made lake. Plenty of hems could be made on rafts with small docks and even places to build storage areas.
While the idea had mostly taken form because of unique needs in crafting and for the water elves when they worked with others that could not be under the water as long or at all, this was a good potential idea now. If the floating village could be used here it might be a good way to encourage people to avoid harming the land or doing anything that would encourage excessive harvesting of resources.
This wasn't to forget the more or less abandoned large island that they had moved toward making a more ideal camp.
The island didn't have much in terms of plant life at all. Many had been wary of this at first but it actually came to be found out it was because the stone the island was made of was mostly partial ore veins.
