Curate, connect, and discover
I'm insane abt sky lore so I did some researching based on your questions and here's what I got :D
The Elders names
The Elders (plus the king & prince) have names based off Hebrew letters from concept development that are no longer canon, though the fandom sometimes refers to them as such:
Isle – Daleth (ד)
Prairie – Ayin (ע)
Forest – Teth (ט)
Valley – Samekh (ס) (They share a name, though the fandom refers to the spiky hair twin as Sah and the bobbed hair twin as Mekh.)
Wasteland – Tsadi (צ)
Vault – Lamed (ל)
Prince – Alef (א)
King – Resh (ר)
Though it seems the devs refer to the Elders by the times of day their realms represent:
Isle – Dawn
Prairie – Day
Forest – Rain
Valley – Sunset
Wasteland – Dusk
Vault – Night
Eden – Storm

The Eden is corrupted?
The Eden is in fact corrupted with corrupted water, dark plants, evil crabs and krill(they're called dark dragon but we usually call them krill🦐). There's a lot of theories about why the Eden is corrupted and corrupting the realms nearby:
wasteland (heavily corrupted)
valley (barely possibly due to the cold)
forest and prairie (mild corruption)
isle (none due to being the farthest)
vault is special because the realm doesn't have any corruption despite being the closest to Eden. Possibly for being cough cough a vault.
The theories being related to the King from Eden being corrupted or the Dark Dragons taking over the sky realms. Idk we never get the true lore yet or I'm missing something ^^;
What are the Winged Light?
The winged lights are the shiny children you picked all around the realms to enhance your wing! The more winged lights you collected, the stronger your wing is and you could fly much longer and higher. Unlocking spirit's second tier (using red candles that you get everytime you finished Eden or do the corrupted rocks tasks. The candles are called Ascended Candles btw) will also give you free winged lights after you finished Eden :3
