I vote yes to Floating Pieces. Maybe someday they could become something for people, if they wanted.
For ruins, I propose something like this carved into the mountain, with obvious signs of damage from the volcano having gone off. There could be structures deeper within the mountain where the magitech and books stayed safe.
I do like the idea of tropical, so many vibrant flowers to find. Plus, the denser forests will be harder for people to invade them, especially if they have a hidden grotto/lagoon where they come in to avoid all this on the regular basis after exploring it the first time.
Snakes. Tropics or woods, snakes are there. Similar enough to dragons. :3 Perhaps the ancient civilization used to worship the snakes. But these are lava snakes who stay close to the source of heat (aka the volcano) until they hunt. You won't see them much at all during the colder months as they hibernate underground, but as the temperature warms, more are abundant (rip for summer exploration).
I prefer Beachy and Forest, but there could always be a marshy section and of course, The Mountain where the palace residence will be built. And a few other mountains here and there.
Bonus for the future palace residence. Flower decorated hallways: one and two. Entrance to the outer garden: here. Garden gazebo: with waterfall that ends at the bottom of the mountain.
