ITT: we try to create a completely surreal setting.

The sky has the appearance of an ocean, with waves rolling and breaking on the horizon.

The time-keepers. Linear time is not "natural" to the setting, which, if left alone, will tend towards gradually coasting in the direction of everything happening simultaneously. These people use enormous magical resources to ensure that time is in fact kept linear and reality as known can be held together, and often tax and steal anyone within reach to prepare the sorts of implements they need in order to keep doing this.

With large noses and eyes, but small physiques, Quicklits scutter from here to there in the dark corners of the world. Quick to steal anything of value dropped and stow it away, they burrow and dig through any substance.

Sinew

The flesh of the earth was ruptured from battles long past exposing the sinew of the world. The sinew is valued for its strength and flexibility. It can only be mined with sorrow

>Organization

The Sewing Circle. This humorous name, stolen from housewives and old women, hides a sinister secret - a cult of mages who embroider spells into fabric in order to control the world. Their magics take effect only when the garment is worn; some of these garments are designed to exert power over those who wear them and corrupt the minds of the powerful and wealthy. Other garments are rippling collections of magical power, arsenals ready to be loosed the moment the mages need it.

Play the EGA version for the superior artstyle (even if it lacks in bitdepth) or FM-TOWNS version for superior music.

There are those who intentionally cause the timeline of small pockets of space to occur simultaneously, either for self-annihilation, annihilation of enemies or the thrill. When this happens, the resulting conclusion of eternity in that location is always a portal to another world. The time-keepers have fine-tuned devices that project their machine-spirits to sniff out these portals and catch them in sealing rings (they cannot be destroyed, for everything that is to occur in that space already has) to contain reality leaks.

Twin Flames are a race of creatures (humanoid? or is that too normal?) that are always found in pairs. One of the pair is 30-40ft tall, and the other is smaller than a micrometer. They are exact duplicates in every respect, and will mirror each others actions to their best of their ability for their entire lives. One does not know that the other exists. Cases where a twin is discovered usually lead to terminal insanity. When twins are forced to act asynchronously, this leads to a deep sense of unease that grows with intensity until it compels them to subsubconsciously (as in below subconsciously, because even the subconscious mind is unaware of the twin's existence, instead it is more like a magical compulsion) rectify the situation. When one dies the other follows immediately. When they act asynchronously for too long, both will die of "natural causes", to the layman.

Humanoid does indeed seem too normal.

Dragonflies, perhaps, or monkey-headed okapis?

Actually, scratch the dragonflies from the Twin Flames concept.

Geographic feature: Dense mating clusters of dragonflies form floating islands in the sky. A cluster is formed briefly after each meteorite enters the atmosphere, and corresponds roughly in size, as well.

That said, NO, FUCK OFF.
