"When I was a lad, I met a girl, who said she had fallen from the sky... Mary. I always caller her the Princess of the Sky. She said she had lost her memory... but whenever she looked at that island in the sky, I could see a longing in her eyes. Did she really come from the sky?"
(Father's Journal)

Sky Island is the floating island in the center of the Uncharted Seas. After its descent back into the ocean, it is neighbour to Tikarel in the north and Bomb Island in the west. The small island Sandbar is just to its east.

Hero Approaches Sky Island

Description[]

Map-universal-OH

Sky Island features varied vegetation: lush hills with green trees, dry areas with rocks and sand, plenty of caves beneath the surface and even a small pond. The Grand Core lies at the very center of the island. A small settlement in the north provides shelter to the Arcadians living on Sky Island.

Each year a heavy storm passes and the inhabitants move into the Storm Shelter for safety.[1]

History[]

In the decades before the Catastrophe, Archimedes has the Grand Core constructed right underneath the center of the White City, the Palace. At the crucial moment of the Catastrophe, TRILOTH and/or the Grand Core lift the Palace and parts of the White City up into the air.[2][3][4] As the Grand Core is powered by only two of the three Sacred Emblems,[5] lacking the force to reach above Gaia's orbit, it keeps the island floating amidst the skies of Gaia. Despite its lack of direct connection to the Emblems, the Teramite Engine keeps the island afloat for the next thousand years.[6][7] Scholars have tried to turn off the Teramite Engine but failed not only to understand the Arcadian code[8] but were also unable to enter the Grand Core as its entrance is shut tight.[9][10]

Ever since, the 'Skypeople' follow the events on the surface and make records, documenting history.[11]

Hero Flies To Sky Island

The Kid flying to Sky Island.

When the Kid learns that he has to search for the Emblem of Sun on Sky Island, he aids Hermit in building a small airship, by collecting the resources needed. The airship succesfully lifts off and carries him up to Sky Island. Unfortunately he has a crash landing which leaves his airship broken. The Kid ventured across the island to a small settlement, where he speaks to Grandmaster Ludwig. He learns that the Emblem is lost and access to the Grand Core has been blocked ever since the Catastrophe. The scholars of Sky Island claim that it was TRILOTH, that lifted Sky Island up into the air.

Hero Crashes Into Sky Island

The Kid about to crash in the island.

The Kid is tricked into opening the Grand Core for a mysterious man[12] and because his mother's necklace is suddenly gone, he follows him into the Grand Core. He finds him inside, about to offer his mother's necklace to his master. Shadow Mesmeroth materializes and a battle ensues. The Kid manages to defeat Shadow Mesmeroth and claim all three Emblems of Creation.

Due to Shadow Mesmeroth's defeat, the Grand Core can be accessed by the scholars[13][14] and Sky Island descends back into the ocean. Grandmaster Ludwig has the Kid's sailboat repaired[15] and aids him further by opening the gates to the Arcadia Ruins, where Oceanhorn lies.

Now that Sky Island is accessible by boat, the Kid can return to it anytime to search for more treasures.
