	~~A variable-wing fast-flying~~ dragon. ~~Work~~ in ~~progress~~.		More than quick or agile, the Quicksilver dragon is possessed of an almost preternatural ability to cut through thinner layers of the atmosphere in dizzying speeds. This is in part due to its wings which the beast may vary to optimize flight in many speeds. Quicksilver dragons are exceedingly impatient, but also age quicker than other dragons.

	Dragons are innately tied to magic, and no breed shows this more clearly than the inscribed dragons. Every scale on an inscribed dragon is marked with a runic symbol; when one uses its devastating breath, a spear of blue light, these runes flare to life. Inscribed dragons are notably smaller than most other breeds, and tend to rely upon their minds rather than raw muscular power. A few are capable of working magic, but even those who aren't tend to hoard information, especially information few others have. The wise do not assume that being intelligent makes inscribed dragons more reasonable or approachable in human terms - inscribed dragons tend to be secretive to the point of paranoia, and often have very inhuman mindsets.

-The people native to A'aoe believe that the will of the great dragon-islands should be upheld above all else. And that will, while varying in many ways from island-to-island, includes one tenant that is the same everywhere: respect and presevre the life of the island and its unique properties. This leads to strict policies agaist the introduction of foreign wildlife onto any given island unless the species can also follow said tenant (thus allowing for seafaring cultures to continue exploring).
+The Lightning Riders are Skyhall's elite military units. Using the fastest skiffs as well as being the home of any and all Skyhall dragons. Lighting troops are frequently trained in the use of rapid deployment techniques like fast roping as well as the fabled "parachute" which is so closely guarded by the Skyhall tacticians. It's even rumored that some troops have been trained to drop without assistance from great height into any available body of water and then attack from the waves. Occasionally classes of young soldiers can be seen training by falling from air ships into the waves of the Great Lake (ocean). A secondary but no less important purpose of the Lightning Riders is to extract and rescue other members of the Skyhall military, as well as rescuing traders/merchants (in peacetime) who've become stranded in dangerous areas or crashed their skyships. Their units are recognized by bearing the image of a Falcon in dive clutching two lightning bolts one in each claw as it falls.

Each island has its own endemic lifeforms unique to only that island, including strang and exotic sentient species. Even the humans, although more-or-less the same biologically, have cultures that vary from island to island.

-[[File:Dragon_Riders.jpg|500px|right]]
+The world is a flat plane. There is a sharp edge of the world, where the forces of the heavens and hell meet to do battle, where elemental maelstroms of hot and cold swirl and gust. No sky ship can traverse the dangerous gases and chaotic winds beyond the edge, and are relegated to the safer skies directly over the surface of Tera-Erde (and only at or below certain altitudes).

 ====Feral====
 Feral dragons are not so much a specific breed. They can be of any of the basic stock from among dragonkind. For whatever unknown reason, they have broken away from the consortium (not a good name, need another), having discovered another symbiotic source to sustain their natures. Whether it is some celestial ore fallen from the heavens, or some unknown geological resonance, some source anchors their magical natures enough to sustain manifestation in the world. As a result, they are extremely rare to be discovered outside of their territory, which they jealously guard. Also due to the nature of their unnatural symbiosis, it has warped their minds and stripped them of their majesty and all semblance of majesty, turning them into terrifying monsters of unparalleled destruction. They can often be found in greater sizes and power than their kin.
