“This is Emund of the ward, and you've unfortunately found yourself in Elona. Or an Elona, rather. Apparently, this fractal aimed to study a world where Balthazar succeeded. Not pretty, to say the least. But if you help me out around here, we'll probably both get back to more exciting duties sooner.
— Captain Emund during Island Discovery Tour
Skyward Marches is a southwestern area within Skywatch Archipelago and shows an Elonian fractal where The Commander never returned to save Elona and Balthazar rules over the lands. Elona Fractal Research is a book further describing The Pact's failure to save Elona.

Ambient dialogue[edit]
- In Farisan Village
- Nervous Villager: All of those Zaishen showed up so suddenly. What's going on?
- Angry Villager: Oh! I'll tell you what's going on! They sold us all out to their damn god, and now they've got cold feet.
- Angry Villager: And they're going to bring all the fury of the Forged down on our heads in the process!
- Nervous Villager: Oh no. We've...we've gotta get out of here while we still can.
- Zekir: I heard from one of the others who went to the edge and confirmed it. We're really just floating in the sky now.[verification requested]
- Jaliyah: Then our days are numbered. The Forged will bear down on us soon enough.
- Zekir: Is it really that bad? We've survived to this point.
- Jaliyah: But now we have nowhere to run. We're trapped up here, and the Forged know it. The gods have abandoned us to our fate.
- Zekir: Maybe this is when the commander will finally return to save us.
- Jaliyah: The commander left us to die. I'd rather face the Forged alone.
- Zaishen Acolyte (1): What do you think that place even is?
- Zaishen Acolyte (2): I don't know. The walls are higher than anything I've ever seen.
- Zaishen Acolyte (1): Maybe the gods built a new city—a place Balthazar couldn't reach.
- Zaishen Acolyte (2): I don't suppose they'll want to let us in, then.
- Herald of Joko: Fear not, people of Elona! While times are dark, and our true master has yet remained hidden, salvation is coming!
- Herald of Joko: The great and illustrious Palawa Joko would not abandon his children to this false god! He will return! He must!
- Herald of Joko: The time will soon be at hand! Do not be led astray by false promises! Only Joko can offer us true freedom from death!
- In Balkor's Camp
- Researcher Brinna: Astounding! I haven't seen raw magic manifest like this in a long time. What do you suppose is behind it?
- Elder Vasim: The land is unwell. Ravaged by Balthazar, and now torn from its proper place by this incursion. It is bleeding.
- Researcher Brinna: Wow, I'd never thought of it that way. But then what will happen with all of it uncontained like this?
- Elder Vasim: Like predators to a wounded animal, the Kryptis will be drawn to the lifeblood of this land. This magic must be purged.
- Researcher Brinna: We'll have to get a cleanup crew out here immediately then. We've got enough Kryptis to deal with already.
