Sea of Clouds

Isles of Paradise

Suggested by TinkyTanko

🎵 Castle in the Sky || Main Theme 🎵

Floating off the ground and in the sky by some unexplainable force, it is said that a magician had done this hundreds of years ago to protect his loved ones from dangers on the surface, losing his life in the process. What was created was a paradise above the clouds, a collection of islands that were bathed in the light of the noon sun no matter the time of day. Where soft green grass doesn’t touch, there are babbling brooks full of fish and sunning rocks to bask on alongside them. The cat pokemon that inhabit the area are very laid back and take their relaxation seriously, not too fond of anyone who tries to disturb the peace.

A memorial is placed on the largest island in the center, depicting a Meowscarada reaching skyward, surrounded by a field of catnip. Despite the locals’ lax attitude, the memorial is pristine and well tended to, showing their gratitude for the man’s sacrifice.

Pokeia

Suggested by Atlasbarelyanimates

🎵 Rengedai Shop || Persona 2 Innocent Sin 🎵

A tall tower filled to the brim with various furniture tossed around and molded together causing the interior to become a maze of sorts. Be careful not to make a wrong turn or you may end up walking down the paths forever. Tinkatink seem to thrive here, taking bits of things to grow their hammers.

Cloudy Heavens

Difficulty || Legendary (90+)

🎵 Mystery Crystal || Baten Kaitos 🎵

On the largest island in the archipelago, a coiling tower of clouds extends further than the eye can see! The clouds are magically firm enough to be walked upon, but beware – they can disappear at any moment when the wind hits just wrong. The chances are more often the higher you go… but, wonderful prizes await throughout the tower! The Pokemon here begin friendly and playful, though their idea of playful might include directing you towards a pocket of clouds ready to disperse. Then, it’s back to the beginning with you! 

Playful turns solemn as you ascend, however, and some of the cloud formations remind you of angels, stone – large relics to remember the fallen. These clouds do not disperse, but when touched, your hand passes through them unlike the solid clouds beneath.

Crimson Woods

🎵 Call of the Hound || CCIVORY 🎵

The Island of Crimon Woods, home to Blackwood Manor and Winding Villa. These woods are both eerie and dangerous to enter, with winding tree’s that are barren of any life, yet seem to be reaching towards the moon that always remains full and deep red. Giving the island it’s name. They say that at night, this dungeon seems to…quite literally come to life. The knotted up tree’s will try to attack any non-locals who enter. Not to mention the pokemon that lurk within, rumored to be prior residents to the Manor…Seeking revenge, or perhaps, protecting Nyx herself for reasons unknown.

The Cursed Tunnel of Askabar

Difficulty || Heroic (80+)

🎵 Call of the Hound - CCIVORY 🎵

A cursed dungeon filled with various pokemon that seem to have stitches all over them. Some of them might even be made of entirely bone! In these eerie tunnels shows artwork of a  past civilization that found it’s ruin by unknown means. Now these undead creatures seem to be out for revenge. Tread carefully, if you dare!

Heroic dungeons may only be explored by characters of level 80 or higher!

Reefed Beach

Suggested by rainfinch

🎵 CrisTales OST || 31 The Seafaring Stiletto 🎵

Crossing the bridge to the east of the city lies what, at first, appears to be a glittering white beach on this small island. From a distance, it looks like a typical beach with its share of waning twilight tropical foliage. However, upon closer inspection, most of the foliage appears to be… living, colorful coral?… Some of the structures hardly reach the size of a feral Cutiefly, Others are sizes that almost give feral Wailord a run for its money! It appears that most of the dungeon may be in the water and on smaller islands littered about… Will you go and explore its depths? Sightsee to see the residents and coral reefs within?

The possibilities may be endless… but you still have to be careful!

The Lost Region

🎵 Coronet Highlands Summit || Legends Arceus 🎵

Going up the northmost bridge presents a… different atmosphere. There were warnings here that things up this path are… wrong. And that’s not to mention how dangerous it looks! As you step further into the fields, you abruptly transform into your feral form, looking up the mountain that contains the biggest waterfalls on the islands. It’s only then that you notice… the air feels different. The sky, while dark, looks clearer. There’s vegetation when there wasn’t any just a few minutes ago. And the Pokemon here…

They look particularly unhappy to see you. But, if you want to get down to the bottom of what’s going on, you’re going to need to get through them!

Forgotten Ruins

Difficulty || Legendary (90+)

🎵 CrisTales OST || 45 The Ruins of Narim 🎵

At the peak of the mountain, the night sky is obscured by the lenticular cloud. However it seems the waterfall originates here… from the cloud itself. Glowing runes dot what appears to be left of the architecture here. Some structures are still standing, which leads further into the dungeon.  It’s much too quiet here. It’s too clean to be fully abandoned. There appears to be gardens within the dimly lit rooms. Well kept pictures and glowing runes seem to tell a story in a dead language. In the depths of the dungeon lies what appears to be a treasure. Vials of dark liquid with what can only be described as shimmering stardust.

Approaching this treasure reminds you that you… are not alone. Whoever’s in here also decrees that you are overstaying your welcome. Will you try to take the treasure?

Opalescent Caverns

Suggested by JustJoinedForThis

🎵 Reflection Cave || Pokemon XY 🎵

A deep, winding cavern system that’s covered in a film of rainbow coloured bioluminescent moss. Pools of crystal clear water can be found on the ground. The pokemon that inhabit this cavern are able to sustain themselves with the moss and water.

Oracle's Summit

Difficulty || Legendary (90+)

🎵 Area Zero (Cinematic Arrangement) || ND Music 🎵

They say that the first test of this dungeon is just getting to it - and they weren’t joking. Once inside, though, the task of navigating doesn’t become any easier. The very land itself is cracked and misplaced. Crystals protrude in all directions, some broken into shards that lay like boulders about the area. Something terrible took place here, to heave the very land itself. And what of the denizens of this place? Are they even pokemon? They are reminiscent of pokemon you’ve seen before, yet differ with a metallic sheen and strange typing.

They say you can see the future here…

Bamboo Grove

Suggested by rainfinch

🎵 Malie City || Pokemon Sun & Moon 🎵

A bamboo forest in the deep jungles of The Land of Mists. The forest is a lush green with several ponds and streams throughout it. Some of the pokemon in this dungeon like to hide in plain sight. In the ground and mud, or amongst flowers and young bamboo shoots. Most are quite friendly and are down for a good time, though be warned. Stay away from the sleeping Bewear, as waking it might be disastrous.

The Pokemon of this region worship one of the Gods of Ruin in particular-- Wo-Chien.

Heaven's Gate

🎵 Solo Menu (Viridi) || Kid Icarus Uprising OST 🎵

Far above the island itself lays an ocean of clouds! Above that ocean is a grand city unlike anything you’ve ever seen! Beautiful, grand staircases leading to ornate buildings and temples colored gorgeous reds and golds. The Pokemon that live here are elegant beyond belief, adorning all kinds of jewelry, but are very protective of their territory. They aren’t ones to turn down a fight if challenged! According to the Pokemon of this area, being able to live here is a blessing! 

The Pokemon here worship one of the Gods of Ruin in particular-- Chi-Yu.

For a Seeker to retire here or to live within Heaven’s Gate, it’s considered a blessing by Chi-Yu themself!

Lover's Cave

Difficulty || Legendary (90+)

🎵 Secret Tunnel || Avatar: The Last Airbender 🎵

There’s an old legend that in the tallest mountain in the Land of Mists is an entire labyrinth of tunnels and caves. Long ago, there was a war between two villages-- and two lovers met atop the mountain despite the odds. They created the tunnels in the mountains to be with one another in secrecy. When the war became too bad, neither was ever seen ever again. The legend was passed down through generations, the cave was known to be cursed, and the labyrinth became known as Lover’s Cave. 

On the inside, it appears no different than any other cave, winding paths and twists and turns for miles. It’s very simple to wind up lost here, so be sure to bring a map and some torches (or a fire type ally!) Over the years there have been many cave-ins, making the correct ways impassable without the proper HMs or moves. It’s no reason they say it’s cursed-- you could be trapped here forever! 

… And diiiiiiiie 🎵

Luckily throughout the dungeon, it seems there’s some … potions? What a lucky find! 

… Hopefully you can make it out with them in hand!

Wait a minute … is that rumbling? It’s getting closer …

Knightfall

🎵 Resurrection || Shadow of the Colossus OST 🎵

An overgrown forest littered with the armor of fallen knights. A battle was once fought here – remnants have stood the test of time, like the war machines reclaimed by the island’s merciless nature. Despite this, the forest houses Herba Mystica within its boughs.

There are no fools on the island brave enough to venture forth for these prizes. The forest is quiet. Too quiet. Few remain in the forest now aside from the ghosts of the fallen.

Ghosts who haven’t seen outsiders in years, decades, perhaps even millennia.

… Ghosts who will lead you astray to remain with them forever.

Stay no longer than you must.

Darklight Crypt

Difficulty || Legendary (90+)

🎵 Dark Noise || Mynoise.net 🎵

Unknown to anyone else still living on the island, behind the castle in Crown’s Demise is the entrance to a massive crypt, just as devoid of nature as the ruined castle town. At first, it’s a normal crypt, albeit filled not with ghosts, but electric Pokemon. The further you go, the thicker the electricity in the air.

Deep inside the caverns, you’re greeted by the remnants of an ancient workshop. Broken machines, strangely advanced for a place such as this, litter the floors and walls… they were destroyed, deliberately, by something. 

Upon closer inspection, you find strange potions upon the ground. Miraculously, they were unharmed. The caps are forged from steel, and the vials flicker with electricity. Lightning bolts from within the liquid reach out for the glass at all points of contact. Maybe they would be best left here, a mystery to all, and this crypt left behind as well to remain a secret. They say curiosity killed the cat…

Ah, but satisfaction did bring it back.

Mechanical whirring fills the halls behind you, and the sound of live electricity zaps across the stone. Maybe the Charcadet don’t have the complete story. You’re being watched and followed – and whatever lurks within this crypt likely plans to do the same to you as it did to this civilization.
