The technology of skycraft is critical to understanding the history of the Greater Pallathantic Region and the modern world.
Chronology of Skycraft
- AS
- 500 AS: Invention of Skycraft, using cembar wood and gontha wool; perhaps related to kites of the Jaffgorn Giants. Used to hunt and herd the gontha of the Jaggudorns and for mobility for semi-nomadic tribes of the High Shadevan Plateau, especially the Gwenyans.
- 400 AS: Neighboring tribes of humans and humanlikes, such as goblins, of the Jaggudorns adopt skycraft for raiding, hunting, and skirmishing.
- 300 AS : increase in size and quantity, Kiallions and allies voyage in late spring westwards over Jaggudorns to Colnoria
- 150 AS : Early Medibgösk discover glanffwood on the skynesses. Glanffwood with a little enchantment magically floats and produces strong skycraft with great lift. Due to the very small supply and the fact that it only grows on skynesses, very little is produced and reserved for the princes of Medibgö.

- 1300
- 1300's: Talimbanfrial, aka talimfrial skycraft become widely used. The Talimbanfrial was a great skyship with multiple square sails on the same mast.
- ca 1390 Dz̧ahwatşabu, the first Galebelly developed in Gdelisica, Pytharnia, by the dwarves.
- 2500
- 2500: Geddamin introduce titancraft vessels of sky
- 2510: Kharrhu-Visha, metal-framed skycraft: increased cargo capacity, improved speed, navigability, and range, New Kalikán Empire
