'''General'''

The hardened people of the edge, the extreme of the habitable land of Tera-Erde, live in a fine balance.

The mirror cycle of day drives the occupants to lean too structures dug into the erde. They thrive and survive at night when the rapid cooling and harsh windstorms provide what little moisture they are able to collect in the hollows of their habitats which are inter connected with tunnels that focus the winds to provide more moisture collection.

Sustenance comes from the existence of microorganisms that form a coexistence with the armor like fauna of the region. When exposed the water deposits harvested, their life cycle explodes. Generations live and die in a nights time providing food for the edge inhabitants. When the armored fauna are over filled with excess water, they grow and die quickly. The resulting plant material is harvested and used as clothing to protect from exposure, but also enables the people to spend limited time in the harshness of dawn and dusk.

Tools are constructed from the glass like deposits of sand formed in special traps or forms.

Many insectoid like forms exist here also providing the circle of life for the area. Most are venoumous, an attack on available moisture in their targeted prey.

Mysticism is focused on water shaping which is focused via worship of the chosen one who is bound to Empyria, Goddess of the Edge.

'''Beak Wolves'''

''contributor: Count Dorku''

The Sky Forests are home to countless bird species that appear nowhere else in the world, from tiny herbivores and scavengers to enormous predators. The best known creatures outside the forest are beak wolves, which are razor-beaked pack hunters that inflict savage wounds with the bladed talons on their feet, then withdraw and wait for their prey to bleed out. As well as skywood, beak wolf eggs are highly prized at lower altitudes - the creatures are large enough to ride, at least the larger specimens, but they are almost impossible to tame without starting very young. Seizing either resource is risky, though - beak wolf packs are very territorial, and beak wolves themselves are very stealthy, meaning that careless lumberers or egg-hunters are likely to end up as prey.
