NOTE:

A discussion page exists which may contain more information

The arid side of the Overrealm is baked in eternal sunshine. Aviaks rule here, divided into various allegiances and waging their own wars. Here you may uncover the palaces of past and present inhabitants.

Travel Edit

The Barren Sky can be accessed via Ulteran Spires .

The Ulteran Spire zone-in point is on The Whisperwind Isle at ( -589, -47, -401 ) /waypoint -589, -47, -401 .
Two additional spires exist in the zone, but they can only be used to leave this zone and travel to any of the many zones in the world now accessible by spire. The leave-only spires are at:

Isle of Awakening spire is at the loc: ( 400, 234, 447 ) /waypoint 400, 234, 447
Isle of Desolation spire is at the loc: ( 480, 293, -539 ) /waypoint 480, 293, -539

Travel Between Islands Edit

Barren Sky Map by Cloud — Cloud travel map after major travel updates. Shown here: leaving Isle of Guardians.

The cloud travel system was updated and all instant cloud routes are now connected, without any need to switch clouds from island to island. (with LU57 )

When you click on the cloud at each landing pad, a map opens with all of the possible cloud travel locations.
In the same update that connected all of the cloud routes, the animated cloud ride was removed and you now instantly travel to the location you select from the map.

Anyone with a flying mount can also fly between islands using a mount instead.

Plip of the Overrealms Travel Agency manages tours of the Barren Sky via cloud for adventurers who miss the old travel system.

Geography Edit

Like all zones in the Overrealm, the Barren Sky is a set of islands floating in a void. Chains connect some of the islands, and dangle from others.

A safe camp is located on Whisperwind Isle , called Windgazer's Hideout . It is found next to the Ulteran Spire on that island. A few services are provided here, such as a merchant and mender.
