The Sky

 is the name for the collection of storylets available at any time when in the open sky.

It functions as a tutorial for Sunless Skies, as well as one method to pause the game. After some storylets are completed (for example, after defeating an enemy), this event will trigger. It can also be accessed by clicking the "1 Storylet available" notice in the lower left corner of the screen, when not in port.

Description
''The High Wilderness! Where stars burn, and winds moan, and mists drift in ragged folds. The suns make their homes here; and now, so too do Londoners, building new lives out in the dark.''

Welcome to Sunless Skies
''Welcome to the heavens. Perhaps a tour of your locomotive?''

Here you may explore your ship and learn how to play Sunless Skies.
