The Archways

The Archways

The Archways Island floats at an altitude far higher than any other sky island. So high, in fact, that it breaches the smog layer, and has only been discovered recently. The island is home to the eight Archways, eight towering stone structures that once served as portals to the afterlife realms. Now, with the keystones stolen and the Ruptours no longer acting as its guardians, a gloomy silence hangs over this ancient island. Perhaps one day, a daring Faian will retrieve the keystones and return the Archways to their former glory…
