Into the Splendor Skies above!

Level 125+ characters in either tradeskill or adventure will find a hooluk friend waiting to speak with you near the Ulteran Spires on the Whisperwind Isle, in the Barren Sky. From there you will be given allowance to travel to Splendor Sky Aerie and the firmament realms beyond!

Following several calamitous impact events near shoreside communities on Norrath, involving magic-steeped stone and steel careening into the land and sea below, you are bound to be swept up in a raging struggle for survival in the skies far above! Splendor Sky Aerie, the hooluk’s secluded nest lands within the Overrealm, are under threat by a mysterious force, bringing discord to the once idyllic community of wise aviaks. Securing peace for them will mean venturing where few have ever dared - Zimara Breadth, within the deteriorating Plane of Sky!

Here, the legendary Djinn Sovereign struggles to keep his empire from physically being lost to unknowable planar forces, while those who would oppose him are crushed through violence, destruction, and enslavement carried out by his ruthless army, an army made up of djinn of all sorts, including something never seen before - maedjinn. These metallic djinn may just hold the clue to his downfall though, when the figure tied to their creation within the Aether Wroughtlands is revealed to be a captive, held deep within Vaashkaani, Alcazar of Zimara. The opulent palace is both throne and dungeon!

But is freeing the captive in our future? Can the Djinn Sovereign be defeated? And what of his vast army of maedjinn? The answers can only be found within the Ballads of Zimara!
