World AtlasA drifting archipelago, sailed along the waystone lanes from Dawnhaven to Level 120.

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 → The Wilds → Duskmoor → The Shattered Garden → The Rustfall · and, gated: The Sunforge

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.

Flying over Dawnhaven in daylight: the octagonal plaza and Town Statue, the clocktower and Masters' Hall behind it, avenues running out to each gate. — Dawnhaven from the air: the plaza at the centre, and an avenue to every gate.

The Wilds Lv 1–21

“Untamed Frontier. Green flats climbing north into ash and dread.”

Your first hunting ground: a long terraced climb from green meadows up into scorched highlands, following the Old Road. You arrive at Orin’s Rest. Work your way north through six bands; the deeper you go, the higher the level.

Orin's Rest at dawn: the waystone, the Warden and the Frontier Hunter, with the Verdant Flats and the terraced bands running north behind them. — Orin’s Rest, where you arrive: the waystone, and the terraces climbing north behind it.

Duskmoor Lv 21–39

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

A twilight moorland of bogs and abandoned carnival grounds, laid out as six spokes radiating from the safe hub of Lanternhold. Each spoke climbs in level, so you can pick your pace.

Flying in over Duskmoor's heather and fairground wreckage to Lanternhold, the lantern-lit circle where the six spokes meet. — The approach to Lanternhold: heather, fairground wreckage, and the one lit circle on the moor.

The Shattered Garden Lv 40–59

“Adrift in the light. What is left of the high garden, scattered across the open sky and laced with bridges.”

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.

A blossom-covered garden isle adrift in open blue sky, with further isles floating clear of it and no bridge between them. — The Trellis Walk from the air, and the isles beyond it that only flight reaches.

The Rustfall Lv 60–70

“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. It is the deepest field zone of the first journey, with no onward waystone; Version 2's road starts in Dawnhaven instead (see below).

Inside the Rustfall caldera: rust-red terraces ringing down toward the floor, scrap machinery on the ledges and creatures working every level. — Inside the caldera: every terrace a level lower, and a hunt on each one.

The Dead Dynamo	Lv 69–70	Silvamire, Tempestcrow, Stormwing (flyers)
The Sealed Cell	Fly-only	Ashen Marionette, Ashen Crate: a hostile vault + a cache

≈

The Sealed Cell is a bunker cut high into the slag wall; reachable only by flying up to its ledge. Inside is a hostile Iblis vault and a cache chest. The Rustfall also holds Aurelion, the Sunforge Seal; the dormant caged god, shown here as a guarded showpiece.

The Sunforge Raid · Locked

A forge-cathedral built to hold a captured star.

The first journey’s raid instance: a dark cathedral of gears and molten channels, with no ordinary monsters. It is guild ground, and the seal asks four things: your guild must be level 5; one of its Skywardens or Marshals must have completed The Caged Sun for Warden Sol in the Shattered Garden, which stamps the key for every member at once; your guild must hold the current hour, won by taking Ondra’s hunt when Aurelion stirs; and you yourself must be level 40, because what waits beyond does not scale to you. Speak to Ondra at the Sunforge Gate behind the Masters’ Hall; she names whichever of the four is still missing, and the server turns away anyone the seal does not answer.

Inside the Sunforge: a stone causeway between molten channels, Pyra the Forge Warden beside it, and Aurelion seated on his gear-throne at the far end of the hall. — The walk in: molten channels either side, Pyra the Forge Warden, and the gear-throne waiting at the end.

The boss: Aurelion, the Caged Sun; Level 70, awake on his gear-throne. A god-machine built to hold a captured star.
The fight: Three phases, each faster than the last, and any of you can be his next target. From the first phase he stomps where you stand and rains cannon fire around you. From the second phase Cog Wardens climb out of the vents, and he adds a solar lance and a rolling shockwave. From the third phase he rages, and his solar flare burns everyone he can see: break line of sight behind a pillar. The fight has a clock, too: drag it out and he burns beyond control, casting faster, hitting harder and lashing out at anyone, at random.
After the kill: He stays down. Your raid gets a short grace to collect what he dropped, then the Sunforge closes and everyone inside is returned to Dawnhaven. He is not fought again until he next stirs.

Version 2: Windmere and the mountain Lv 60–120

Version 2 opens the land above the first journey: the drowned capital of Windmere and the five field zones that climb the mountain behind it, from the Sunken Marches at Level 70 to the Starfall Crater at 120. It is reached from Dawnhaven: speak to Keeper Halvard, the Mountain Waystone, and he sends you to Windmere's spire. Until Version 2 is open he tells you the way is shut, and nobody can travel in.

The zones are a chain. Each one has a waystone to the next and one back to Windmere, so you can always get home, and a Provisioner who sells food. None of the five has a level floor, but every creature in them is Level 70 or above, and the quest chain that leads you through them is gated by level.

Zone	Band	From	Onward
Windmere	Town · Safe	Dawnhaven (Keeper Halvard)	Marches (Warden Cobb), Highfell (Stairwarden Ilse), Dawnhaven (Keeper Sennet)
The Sunken Marches	Lv 70–79	Windmere	Highfell (Sluicewarden Orla)
The Highfell	Lv 82–90	Windmere or the Marches	Stormcrown (Stormwarden Vael)
The Stormcrown	Lv 91–100	Highfell	Glasswaste (Sunwarden Idris)
The Glasswaste	Lv 102–109	Stormcrown	Starfall (Craterwarden Oren)
The Starfall Crater	Lv 111–120	Glasswaste	Windmere only

Windmere Town · Safe

“North and up, past where the Wilds end, the old kingdom's capital stands on its crag: Windmere, drowned and half rebuilt, and the mountain above it goes on to 120.” Keeper Halvard, Dawnhaven

The second town, and the base for everything in Version 2. Like Dawnhaven it is safe ground: no monsters, and no player can be attacked here. Its quarters carry the old kingdom's names, the Broken Keep, the Cloister Market, the Drowned Quarter, the Old Chapel and the Jetty among them.

Windmere's arrival plaza at night: torches on stone posts, the spire behind, and townsfolk around the waystone. — Windmere, at the point where you arrive.

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, and held at your side for a countdown before the fight: 10 seconds in a war, 1 minute in a siege match, where the reserves wait on the Muster Terrace.
