| - Not much is known of the Sky Guard's history. Inference tells us that they have been around for centuries, guarding Asylia alongside the Burners since the Great Divide. Although not important in the storyline of Lair, it seems that they still had some bearing on how wars were won for Asylia, particularly the Great Reformation War. It is not likely that the Burners, the elite dragon-riding unit of Asylia, would participate in the many campaigns that would be inevitable after the Battle of the Peace Talk Bridge; it is much more likely that the Sky Guard participated in these engagements and ultimately moved the Asylian lines forward during the Great Reformation War (although they would have had much help from the Burners, who would go behind enemy lines, sabotage as much as they could, then note the weaknesses of the enemy and report it back to their commanders, who would then transfer this information to the whole army and navy of Asylia). After the destruction of Mokai City, the Sky Guard became much more prominent in the Great Reformation War, making up much of the defense force of key military fortifications and huge prison complexes due to their great numbers and availability. You see, Asylia was building up its forces at this time, and it wanted all the manpower and firepower it could get. But because this massive build-up resulted in less training (as Asylia was trying to get these men on the battlefield as soon as possible) and because the massive build-up resulted in the taming of weaker dragons (which would enable Asylia to build a huge army twice as fast), the Sky Guard became much less effective than they would have been against the Mokai Insurgency. This applied to all military units of Asylia at this time except for the Burners in the "strength-of-their-dragons" department. Nothing is known of the Sky Guard after the Final Battle of the Asylian Capital City. It could be that they were disbanded and replaced by the Burners as the main air military unit of Asylia; it could be that they were remade by Rohn and his other fellow Burners to be less politician-run and more in the hands of the people. However, this is all speculation, and is subject to change should a Lair II be released.
