Flying Circus: Horrors of the Heights (PBtA)
 |
Himmilgard is a land of a great many dangers¸ few which are well understood. Some are simple for humans to comprehend: a Grand Eagle will swoop in and tear apart your plane because it is hungry. Others are strange¸ but their boundaries are known: if you wish to avoid the Fae¸ don't stray into the Wild. But in the darkest forests¸ the deepest caves¸ and the open ocean are a myriad of dangerous creatures which exist at the level of rumours¸ half-remembered stories¸ and blurry photographs.
High up in the clouds¸ too¸ there are dangers.
As the combustion engine has grown more powerful¸ the airplane and airship swifter and more reliable¸ people have edged ever closer to this strange realm¸ ignorant of that which lurks above. For the open air is not as empty as it seems¸ and that which lurks at these great heights is inimical and alien to human life. While the shape of this threat is known to few¸ veteran pilots know better than to stray too far from the safety and certainty of solid earth.
