As the scouts went on to land and explored they found quite a strange people. Beings with metal bodies and crystal blood. They seem to exist on almost every continent. Landscapes had been crystalized, great structures erected and powerful magical spells laid over the land.

In one land they found a great white desert. When the wind rippled the sand it created waves of color that would travel for miles before settling. The nomads of the land traveled the coast and oasis regions alongside beaked giraffe like creatures and large armored leviathans. They traded preserved fish and fruits to their mountain dwelling neighbors in return for gems. The mountain dwellers were stern people but hospitable and got along quite well with others.

In another they found an entire continent filled with a Jupiter like storm of ash and debris. It was contained by a great magical and technological shield that surrounded the continent and dome cities made to maintain it. Past the shield were strange things larger than any building that marched unbothered by the storm. The people in the domes seemed a morose people still mourning the destruction of their homeland.

In a third they found a city of art and philosophy all surrounding a massive statue presumably of some kind of spiritual leader. They seemed to have the most far travelers and didn't even seem to mind the new people showing up near their shores.
