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

Lore[]

Like all the fractured islands of the Overrealm, the Barren Sky was ripped from Plane of Sky in eons past. For centuries the sentient races of the zone lived in relative harmony; war was commonplace, put the enemy was familiar. The eagle-like Aviaks, the vulture-like Vultaks, and the owl-like Hooluks each controlled their own area, only fighting with their neighbors occasionally. However, recently the Droag have decided that their time of dragon-asciension is nigh and have begun to ruffle the feathers of the birdmen. Slaves to their nature, the Aviaks and Vultaks have teamed up with the Droag, albeit with steadfast animosity towards one another, and have set themselves against the peaceful Hooluks. Luckily, a strong band of hooluks have united, calling themselves The Windgazers, and are more than willing to take on any adventurer willing to lend them a hand (or claw).

Geography[]

Barren-Sky-Flight-Paths

To reach the Barren Sky, and the other zones of the Overrealm, you must use an Ulteran Spire. Simply click on the portal at the center of any Spire in the world and a game map will open up, allowing you to teleport to the connected Spire within the Barren Sky. There were originally six Ulteran Spires spread throughout the Shattered Lands, with the ones in Nektulos Forest and The Thundering Steppes being the only ones that would teleport you directly into the Barren Sky. However, post-LU56 all the Spires opened up to each other and since then Barren Sky can be accessed from any one.

Barren Sky Map by Cloud

Cloud travel map after major travel updates. Shown here: leaving Isle of Guardians.

The zone is split into floating islands. To travel between them, click on the cloud teleporters that can be located via the in-game map.

Town[]

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