As we all well know, not all dragon breeds are built for flight; let alone long-distance flight. Inspired individuals from all elements have always sought a solution to cross continental travel, but it was only in the last 100 years or so that the Skyship (as we know it today) was invented and standardized.
[size=1][color=transparent]x[/color][/size]
The Wind flight has always had the upper hand when it came to control of the skies, and their ingenuity culminated in the creation of the first flying vessels. Though varied in aesthetic design, all were boats shaped from bamboo or soft wood and equipped with sails to harness the natural breeze as well as directed wind magic. They needed no engines to get off the ground; only an experienced wind mage to guide them. These early Wind Skyships were the catalyst to a continent-wide revolution in transport and accessibility.
[size=1][color=transparent]x[/color][/size]
Other flights, inspired by the curious airborne boats of the Windswept Plateau, began designing their own versions. There were many experiments in this time period, ranging from mildly successful to disastrous. The Arcane flight attempted to power their crystalline ships with their innate, celestial magic (perhaps hoping that the forces that kept the planets aligned would keep them levitating). But their scientific method was erratic and the magic itself unsustainable and unstable. The Fire flight endeavored to power their hulking ships of black iron by way of forge and fire, but ultimately their weight proved their (literal) downfall.
[size=1][color=transparent]x[/color][/size]
Thankfully, those failed prototypes were shunned in favor of the Lightning Skyship; the design of which was refined and is now mass-produced. Alongside Lightning vessels, Wind Skyships are still widely in use on the Plateau - the art of their making is considered ancestral knowledge.

[s]lightning flight vessels are common worldwide, as they're larger and built for cross-continental travel, and because lightning being the home of mass-production. they're made from metal, and rely on steam engines or rudimentary electrical systems in combination with steam to generate lift. they have a sorta steampunk aesthetic, but more close to the skyship in treasure planet.
to follow up on nightingale and the grand animus: basically, if a lightning vessel Isnt made from copper, it's almost always piloted by someone rich and/or powerful. lightning ships are mass produced to work well, not to look nice. anyone who is savvy enough to work out how to mod them without ruining the efficiency of them sells their services for a high price, so it's only the rich that can afford to make their lightning skyship look nice[/s]

Well, if you've caught the travel bug like I have, dear reader, then you'll know the feeling of longing to visit the Windswept Plateau! It's a haven for those with wanderlust in their hearts, and if you're seeking the company of like-minded individuals, there's no place better than the Reedcleft Collective! Experience authentic Wind flight cuisine at the Sapphic Serthis tavern ...
