Aerial Craft
Overview
Aerial craft are flying vehicles that use advanced anti-gravity systems to travel high above the ground and over long distances. They range from imposing ceremonial ships to fast, high-performance vehicles and serve as the airborne equivalent of private jets
Operation
They combine strong anti-gravity fields with energy propulsion. Large models are slower but offer enormous range, suitable for ceremonial or diplomatic journeys, while smaller models achieve very high speeds at altitudes up to three kiloselm
Types
- Small, Haloryn-class: Fast and agile, ideal for travel between regions
- Medium, Aerythis-class: Exceptional range, intended for ceremonies or diplomatic missions, accommodating several passengers and medium loads
- Large, Cargool-class: Large passenger or transport craft used for many passengers or heavy cargo
Use
Aerial craft are employed in ceremonial missions, political delegations, and travel for wealthy families. Smaller models are common among affluent citizens, monks, and high-ranking officials
Social and Economic Dimension
They symbolize power, wealth, and prestige. Large ceremonial ships are reserved for upper classes, major monasteries, or state institutions, while smaller craft serve as markers of social status for affluent individuals
Restrictions
- Mandatory flight plans at the national level for large craft
- Compulsory use of licensed landing platforms
- Strict prohibition of flights in restricted zones or outside charted corridors without authorization

Common Terminology
Large ceremonial Aerythis ships are often called “floating shrines” or “sky palaces” due to their slow and majestic movement. Smaller Haloryn craft are known as “Petals”, referring to their circular wings
