Skysail is a "city" in the sky of Ikoria, made of dozens of balloon-driven airships.[1]
Description
The sanctuary's balloons and rudder-sails grant it almost permanent flight, allowing it to fly high above the threat of monsters that walk, crawl, or swim. Its floors and girders are made from extremely light wood and hollow pterodactyl bones, and individual balloon-ships can detach or reattach at will.
Skysail's survival strategy is mobility. The flying sanctuary never stays in one place for very long, in order to avoid the migration paths of Ikoria's many flying monsters. When an attack happens, Skysail can scatter into many smaller pieces and reassemble later in a safe place, or send off decoy ships to lure flying threats away from the main bulk of the fleet.
The people of Skysail are bold and independent, preferring a life on the move to sitting and waiting for an attack. Though the sanctuary boasts a military force, their usual approach to hostile monsters is mostly to leave them alone.
Skysail is a trading place for goods from far-off lands.[2]
History
According to the sky dwellers, many generations ago, there was once a walled sanctuary in Indatha called Orn. The city stayed safe by training bioluminescent nightcats and batbirds to circle the sanctuary and nest in its towers, keeping the sanctuary lit at all hours. But one night, for unknown reasons, the luminous creatures did not come, and nightmares breached the gates under cover of darkness. Some of the residents of Orn escaped, salvaging some raw materials to construct rudimentary hot-air balloons. More and more balloonists joined their vessels together, forming what's now known as Skysail.
