Titancraft Skyship
The quintessential Vessels of the modern age rely upon Titancraft for lift, propulsion, weaponry, and defense. The principle material of the airframe and covering of the vessel is metal, although some lighter craft use thick fleeglesilk which is lighter and more buoyant than metal. Titancraft skyships are more commonly called titanships.
Over the centuries, aerial travel and warfare has replaced the voyage of the sea for the ruling class of the Pallathantic. While sea transport remains cheap and widespread in comparison, skycraft retain the cutting edge. The first circumnavigation of the globe was achieved by skycraft, not by a vessel of the sea.
Titancraft Technologies
PROPULSION and LIFT
- Aeolian Vapor
- Coelodermic Volitundum
- Murshadak's Chamber
- Titancraft Rotary Panstream Engine
- Ziffler Foil
Titancraft Weaponry
- Displacement/Draft
- Drakehull: any titanship over a certain length and a certain volume; compare leviathan for skynesses and hullnesses.

Commercial Transport
- Blodaskirra heavy skybarge with ability to ascend and descend rapidly, designed to access the skynesses of Medibgö
- Mugient a very heavy skybarge with low altitude, created by the dwarves and favored by the Xsytes. The craft are capable of very high tonnage and their lift system creates a very low, loud bellowing.
- Onobos Craft a small skycraft with less maneuverability than a magistercraft, but greater strength. They are used to tow sky behemoths into place.
- Onogaster "hulk-belly," sky frigate
- Tarrafas a light skycraft with a simple array of Ziffler Foils, with one or two light titancraft engines for propulsions. These craft are favored as pleasure craft for the wealthy who cannot afford the most high-end craft. They originally come from Trevirs.
