Zephras Isle is the Skyborne starting area for levels 1–12.[1]
Beta: open in week 1.[2] See Beta guide for testing scope and Beta known issues for current issue reports.
Setting
Its Skywall refuge is failing after the disappearance of its elemental guardians. Windshapers, the High Order, and Al’Aketh contest the island.[3]
Travel and access
At launch, access comes with the Skyborne Heroic Pack or an upgrade that includes it.[4] For beta eligibility and installation, see Game access and Beta guide.
A useful first-session record includes the selected faction and any transport that leaves the island. The wiki has not yet established a repeatable return route or whether every character can revisit the same areas.
Beta quest references
Harmony in Balance and Infestation Investigation have dedicated references with inspected quest-window images. Read their objective and reward evidence before using them to plan a session. They do not form a verified complete island route. The additional Coming of Age, Elemental Unrest and The Cirrusfly Queen articles cite original beta video frames for their objectives and completion evidence. Their exact client builds and full prerequisites remain unverified.
