The word 'skycraft' is the English language translation of the widely used calque for vessels of the air. Skycraft were traditionally gliding and self-venting vessels made from exotic woods and fabrics, originally found in the valleys of the Jaggudorns. According to legends of the Sky Tribes, the god Amirulliam taught them how to make these first skycraft which they used at great peril to herd gontha and to migrate to nearby alpine valleys. In the past two hundred years, skycraft has come to include titancraft vessels of sky.
