Windhome Skylands

The Islands
Waterfalls dot the Windhome Skylands, their thunderous waves of turmoil disappearing down into North of North until they are a mere sprinkle on your head. Along with lush vegetation of shrubs, flowers, and trees that cling to the small radius of the jagged, clay islands. The buildings on the islands seem to have emitted from the clay itself, as they are surrounded by the thick foliage and crowded so close together.

The Windhome Skylands float over the waters of Naastrand Sound, with the smallest of their islands reaching all the way to Trail's End, and eventually connecting with the Overgaard Skylands. The larger islands to the south are filled with pretty blossoms and enchanting waterfalls that cascade from one island to the next. [1] The chain stretches on for miles, with the islands drifting constantly. Even if you've been to an island before, it can be hard to find it. That's because it may have drifted from where you last left it! [2]

The islands' building are white with tiled roofs and beautiful open courtyards. On the largest and highest island sits Airistos Castle, watching over the realm. [3]

Airistos Castle
Windhome Skylands is where Airistos Castle is located, which is home to the Royal Family of Herd Airistos.

The castle of Herd Airistos almost looks as though it was something of the Greek gods' invention, with its large pillars created from beautiful polished marble, and the large marble statues of flying horses rearing in happiness. [4]

The Horses of Windhome Skylands
Here in Windhome Skylands, you'll find many Pegasi floating about, and if you're lucky you might even catch a glimpse of Nike, the Legendary Horse and Patron of Herd Airistos, as Windhome Skylands is one of her favorite places to go. [5]
