Many beasts are thought to have emerged as a result of a mythological Great Cataclysm, that caused lands to rise to the sky and form this new continent. Skycrash is one such beast. Thought to have been released from the depths when the lands sundered, he now terrorizes the skies west of the Kalontar Peaks. Colonists there have heard the natives speak of him as a war demon. They say that those unlucky enough to have his shadow pass over them as he flies past, are then possessed with a bloodlust, turning on others, regardless whether they are already friend or foe.
