Finding your way around the sky

How the archipelagos, winds and island pages connect, and where Tamsin and the ground crew can point you when you are lost.

Archipelagos group islands by landscape

An archipelago is a cluster of islands with a shared view: kite hills, the edge of the cloud, hives, orchards, sunny markets or the village fête. Each cluster holds some calm islands and some stormy ones, so a favourite scene never ties you to one pace.

Winds group islands by behaviour

Over on the winds page, the same thirty islands are sorted by the one rule that shapes their spins. Each wind is shared by five islands, so finding one you enjoy leads you straight to four more.

Who to ask when you are stuck

Tamsin, our kiwi aviator, waves you in on the home page. For anything else, the ground crew reply to messages sent from the support page, and the every-page list maps the whole site in one place.
