World AtlasA drifting archipelago, sailed home-to-endgame along the waystone lanes.
Skybound is one realm of floating sky-islands, split by narrow straits and stitched by waystones. The path runs southwest to northeast, from the home town out to the high garden, then dives southeast into the pit. Travel between zones by talking to a Waystone Keeper; every field zone has one road home to Dawnhaven and one road onward.
Dawnhaven Town · Safe
“Frontier Town · Sanctuary. Every road home leads here.”
The hub of the realm: a radial town built around an octagonal plaza and a central Town Statue, ringed by a stone wall with corner towers, a park pond to the northeast and a river with bridges to the southwest. Nothing attacks you here. Everything you need lives in town: the shops, the bank, the blacksmith, the four Job Masters, and the great clocktower.

“The Fallen Fair. A perpetual dusk over heath and bog, six dark roads out of one lantern-lit hold.”

A broken paradise of garden-isles floating in open air, connected by bridges, though the far isles have no bridges at all and can only be reached by flight. The safe hub is Aetherhold. This is the zone where captains and named bosses start to really matter.

“The engine-grave. A rusted caldera spiralling down to the Dead Dynamo. The deepest hunt there is.”
The bottom of the world: a corroded machine-caldera that spirals down to a dead reactor. The safe hub is Coilhold. This is the deepest field zone, with no onward waystone.

The Sunforge Endgame · Locked
A forge-cathedral built to hold a captured star.
Skybound’s endgame instance: a dark cathedral of gears and molten channels, with no ordinary monsters. It is quest-locked: you enter only after completing The Caged Sun for Warden Sol in the Shattered Garden. Speak to Ondra at the Sunforge Gate behind the Masters’ Hall; the seal turns away anyone without the unlock (and the server sends them home).
- The boss
- Aurelion, the Caged Sun; Level 70, awake on his gear-throne. A god-machine built to hold a captured star.
- Note
- The room and the living boss are here now; the full multi-phase fight arrives in a later chapter.
The PvP grounds
The Arena FFA · no penalty
A free-for-all ring: kills only count inside the sunken octagon; the surrounding plaza is safe, and there’s no death penalty. Entry via Rok the Arena Master (needs a first job). A no-fly zone. See PvP.
Skyfront Ring Guild war
The dedicated arena for guild wars and the Weekly Siege; a much larger battleground with team spawns, bastions and a siege gate. You’re teleported in when a war goes live.
