Skycraft comprised a wooden hull carved out of buoyant sumpwood into the shape of a creature of the Edge, coated in buoyant varnish which allowed the wood to remain stable under windy conditions, and small masts and sails to allow the pilot to use the wind to manipulate the direction of the craft. Skycraft were usually named after the creature which the hull had been carved into the shape of. The main place they were made was in the Free Glades and these were piloted by the Librarian Knights who had carved the hulls.

abstract	Skycraft comprised a wooden hull carved out of buoyant sumpwood into the shape of a creature of the Edge, coated in buoyant varnish which allowed the wood to remain stable under windy conditions, and small masts and sails to allow the pilot to use the wind to manipulate the direction of the craft. Skycraft were usually named after the creature which the hull had been carved into the shape of. The main place they were made was in the Free Glades and these were piloted by the Librarian Knights who had carved the hulls. Skycraft were operated by flight-levers, but unlike Sky Ships the arrangment of the levers, and what they did was customizable. Ten standard levers were stern and prow weights (weights that controlled the weight of the front and back of the ship), starboard and port weights (these controlled the left and right of the ship), a mid hull weight (controlling the middle of the ships weight), mainsails (either one or two, these were the main sails that were pointed upward and usually the largest), a skysail (coneccted to the front of the craft pointing up), a jib (connected to the front of the craft point straight), and a staysail (connected to the front of the craft pointing down). As you can see in the picture (right) this craft has a mainsail, a jib, a staysail, and two unkown flight weights. These were likely all on the same row (instead of two rows on either side) because of only two weights, but three sails.
