Reading the Wind Above the Cloudline

November 11, 2026

A skyship route begins with two readings: the wind at the current altitude and the cloud drift over the intended landing site. In this design, a tailwind can shorten the passage while carrying the crew past a sheltered mooring. The flight chart therefore shows several viable approaches, with visible landmarks that let the player correct course without opening a menu.

One encounter explores an old shrine at the edge of a thermal. The player can spend more sail time circling, or risk a narrow approach and arrive before the island drifts into cloud.
