Artemis woke with amnesia underneath the shattered remains of a once prosperous human civilization. He remembered nothing, his past or the events that happened that caused the world to become as it was. He was no longer purely human, he woke to find...
The sky was the limit. That was the fact before the invention of flight-capable technology. It was not until the first plane did the humans finally conquered the skies. In Fordalt, the skies have been conquered as much as the humans did back on Earth.
They rode flying ships of great shape who were flew and bore death. The Airships which the kingdoms manned and flew above their lands to protect their skies and the cities. The small airships they built is to protect their treasures. In fact, it was first invented by the dwarves in the north in the snowy mountains on the Western region. They invented the first airships 600 years ago.
Of course, these flying wooden ships were used for the merchants, traveling, transporting, and best of all, for War. Not only do they overpower the common soldier but they do so effectively against a thousand or more common soldiers. The common soldiers were no match for the warships who have weapons could blow them away. The cannons on them would crush them and their ability to fly.
All battleships were protected by magic barriers to protect themselves, no puny amount of arrows or low-tier magic spells can take them down and the wood on them won't catch fire like normal wooden ships do. The only thing capable of doing so was, of course, a high-tier magic or powerful weapons could take down the barrier. Magical weapons and spells above 6th tier were effective and almost the only viable way of shooting them down or destroying them in that manner. They always aimed for the bridge, the balloons or sails on top, or the place where the powersource that levitates the ship, like shooting the part where your heart and brain was.
The bridge was the brain to control. These weapons of war were controlled by airship crews.
But also, for air fighters. They held tens of Griffin riders on each ship as an assault on the skies. Griffins are creatures with a lion's body with wings and a bird's head, usually that of an eagle. They have special abilities of wind magic. Most of the griffins on Fordalt are on the rank of mid to late stages of C-rank.
Unlike Wyvern or Dragonite riders from other states, Griffins are far more faster, agile, intelligent, and more stronger than them, their wind magic could easily fend off against their fire balls. Compare to a Griffin and a Wyvern on battle, it'll compared to a propelled plane and a F-22 raptor.
All of the kingdoms have these Airships but the three major superpowers have much more Airships than any kingdom like the Empire and the Republic for example, they possessed more than 800 Airships in their arsenal, but as for the Senadate Theocracy, they held more than 1000 Airships, that is one of the reason why they are on the top most powerful superpower in the continent.
And today was the day that they would encounter an enemy equal to their strength, equal in a sense but not as they thought.
On the twenty-seventh day after the first army set up camp below the other side of the hills which separated them from the enemy, the first Airship naval fleet took flight above the clouds. The sky below them was covered in dark clouds of smoke and ash because of the fires that were still ablaze.
Commanding one of the first-class Airship Carrier was an iron-willed Captain Jeremy Thorn. Jeremy Thorn was a fresh new graduate of the Theocracy's five year bloody training camp that turned already seasoned crew into commanders that would command a hundred more of their comrades and lead them into battle.
