World Map

There are 2 basic maps for the Sky Cowboys world. Most of the world's short stories and canon characters take place in the Regional Map of The Wild Winds

## **World Map**

**11/29/21 - Will be updated with new maps soon!!**

This contains the major chasms, but many many many more chasms exist in the world. The planet is roughly Earth-sized. Map not distorted for projection.

## **Regional Map - The Wild Winds**

**11/29/21 - Will be updated with new maps soon!!**

This area is an example of a regional map, and is where most of the short stories take place.
Deepwood Broadwings

Breed name: Deepwood Broadwings

Bird inspiration:

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Longhaul

### Overview

Deepwoods are a relatively unknown breed that nest exclusively in the high-altitude old-growth forests of the Shandy Mountains. As of this writing, there is only one known breeder of deepwood broadwings, and that's Holli Matalutke. She's well-known for breeding the best longhaul broadwings. Having a Matalutke peg is almost as good as having the Matalutke Mark on your pilot's scarf.

Notable deepwood broadwings include Holli's Semrah, Rorek's Apel, and Sanna's Redwing.
White-Cheeked Longwing

Breed name: White-Cheeked Longwing

Bird inspiration: Canadian Goose

Class: Longwing

Subclass: Standard

### Overview

White-cheeks are known for their bravery and somewhat cantankerous attitude - especially when it comes to defending their young. Of all the pegasi to move slowly around the foals, White Cheeked longwings demand an extra level of caution.

### Coloration and Conformation

With their distinct white cheeks and high black stockings, these longwings are among the easiest to identify at a distance. During the early to mid spring, large flocks will gather around shallow lakes to breed. While they are typically independent, this gathering behavior is consistent enough that in the late summer, pilots and ranchers can easily predict where the flock will have been during molting (usually in early to mid-summer, right before the new hatchlings grow their first set of flight feathers). This is handy for locals looking to collect down for winter comforters or mattresses, and larger feathers for decoration or making tools.
The Cataclysm

The SC world was formed very much like Earth - the planet formed over a very, VERY long time, civilization emerged, and began to organize and progress. No chasms yet existed. During this time, man tamed the horse and other livestock.

Then, according to the main creation stories,\* man became rebellious, so God struck the earth, shattering the surface, separating men from one another. Many call this **The Cataclysm**. During The Cataclysm, the chasms formed suddenly and violently, devastating humanity and setting both their society and their technology back thousands of years. Knowledge was lost, nations were fractured, and the vast majority (90%) of the population was utterly decimated. However, according to the sacred stories, God was merciful, and brought up new, flying creatures to assist mankind in rebuilding in the new world criss-crossed by huge, impassible chasms.

From a more scientific perspective, the Cataclysm definitely did happen, and it was just as devestaing to mankind and animals as the stories say. During the thousands and thousands of years for mankind to return to any semblance of real civilization, pegasi and other new flying creatures rapidly evolved in the wake of the destruction of most other creatures. Creatures who did not evolve flight capabilities were driven to further specificity in their now isolated ecosystems. Once mankind started to bounce back, they started to tame the pegasus. Only once the pegasus was mastered were men able to intermingle once more, and rebuild the larger society we see in Sky Cowboys today.

\*There are, as one might expect, several creations stories that exist simultaneously, each one specific to a particular island or group. The one recounted here is merely the most widely accepted.
Warpath Broadwing

Breed name: Warpath Broadwing (AKA, Warwing)

Bird inspiration: Bearded Vulture

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Longhaul

### Overview

Warpath Broadwings, also called "Warwings," are so named for their fearsome appearance and for the stories surrounding their gruesome coloring. These pegasi are said to have been used by generals in a great northern war. Stories say the pegasi and soldiers riding them were so ruthless in battle that it stained the pegasi’s legs with blood, and set death upon their eyes and wings.

### Coloration and Conformation

As with most pegasi with black or dark wings, there is a great deal of prejudice against warwings. That has not stopped a number of longhaul messenger and rescue pilots from flying warwings, however, as they are strong flyers and relatively even-tempered. The curious dark feathers around and under their eyes are sometimes referred to as "tears," linking back to an old legend of a pegasus that cried because of the many deaths it witnessed. While warwings are very distinct, they are also somewhat high-maintenance, required somewhat more grooming than other broadwings. For this reason, it's always recommended to keep a preening tool with you, should you choose to make a long journey with a warwing.
Masked Longwing

Breed name: Masked Longwing

Bird inspiration: Mute Swan

Class: Longwing

Subclass: Standard

### Overview

These longwings are surprisingly strong and swift, with a quick temper and a large appetite. As with their cousins, the white-cheeked longwing, it's important to keep in mind that maskie mares can be incredibly and aggresively territorial when they have hatchlings in their care. There are several stories floating around the coastal towns of these pegs injuring or even killing pilots and eggers who got too close to their nests.

### Coloration and Conformation

Almost completely white, maskies have very few markings, save for the black "mask" that covers the eyes and generally stretches down the muzzle to the beak. Having so few markings, it can be difficult to tell them apart, but then again, there are very few people, pilot or otherwise, that would want to keep more than one at a time.

Common Spotted Shortwing

Breed name: Common Spotted Shortwing

Bird inspiration: Brown Thrasher

Class: Shortwing

Subclass: Standard

### Overview

These pegasi are hardworking, but somewhat tempramental, and require delicate handling. It's not uncommon for them to step on people they decide they don't like. Note: Common Spotted Shortwings are NOT safe around children! They seem to be friendly enough with other pegasi, though, and may live quite happily in a mixed herd.

### Coloration and Conformation

Common spotted shortwings come in a variety of colors, with brown and grey being the most prominent. Some individuals with white spots may need to be given extra shelter in the summer to prevent sunburn.

These pegasi tend to be bald-crested and short-tempered.
Desperate Times

Uncredited

**Desperate Times** is an AU inspired by Underfell, the AU where monsters are evil. It is set in an Underground where the events regarding the Dreemurrs led the Underground to fall into a downwards spiral. Crime is popular, and things are generally unsafe, with people being in a bad state of mind. On top of that, the guard became corrupt and vile after gathering the 6th soul, and according to some, worse than the criminals they fight.

Rather than Frisk, the protagonist is a human named Leer with an unknown soul trait, described as empty by SAVE Points.

## Characters

### Flowey

Flowey is mad and sadistic, enjoying seeing the bad state of the Underground and loving to mess with Toriel and Papyrus.

### Toriel

Toriel is the Caretaker of the Caracombs, who has slight depression. She got heavily wounded when the 6th human tried to kill her, and has been distrustful of them since, adults especially. She is mostly unaware of the Underground's current state.

### Napstablook

Napstablook's state isn't the best, with their snail farm making no money and their only relative disappearing, the latter of which they blame somebody for, though they keep it hidden. Their passion for music is fading.

### Sans

Sans is a criminal, and acts serious and mafia-like, though still being like classic Sans deep down. He's proud of Papyrus and deeply misses him. He has the nickname Skelepin,

### Papyrus

Papyrus was formerly a member of the guard, but as the guard became worse, he decided to get himself court martialed. He became the "hero and savior of Snowdin", protecting the town from crime as the guard doesn't do it. He's not on good terms with his brother, and while he claims he's not family anymore, he is not happy about it and secretly misses him. He now lives in a tent in Snowdin Forest.

### Grillby

He is the "right hand man" of Sans, though best friend is more accurate. He still has his bar, but isn't there often anymore, and he lives with Sans now. He's very strong, and the main reason the gang is still around.

### Undyne

Undyne is the relentless captain of the Royal Guard, and while she used to be more like classic Undyne, after claiming the 6th soul she changed for the worse, and the guard followed suit. She finds both Papyrus and Sans a disgrace to monsterkind, and despises the latter, with the guard and his gang having had many confrontations.

### Asgore

Asgore is cold hearted, and no longer a king, but an emperor.

## Miscellaneous

* Rather than Mt. Ebott, monsters are sealed into a canyon, called Conflict's Canyon.

Stripe-Crested Downy Broadwing

Breed name: Stripe-Crested Downy Broadwing

Bird inspiration: unknown

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Pony

### Overview

Adapted to the colder northern regions, stripe-crested downies are not as hardy as the blizzard broadwing, but make wonderful cold-climate workhorses and compantions. They are amiable in nature and are small enough to be kept safely sheltered during the harsher winter months.

Small and sturdy, they are friendly in general and seem to enjoy close company with their human handlers, despite being too small to bear them in flight.

### Coloration and Conformation

Based primarily on Fjord horses, these pegasi come in a limited range of colors: from palomino to silver dun. Their crests are short and characteristically striped. Each feather in the crest has a dark brown or black stripe, creating a stripe down the whole crest. In addition, their legs and tails tend to be darker, not unlike a buckskin.

Sunfire Longwing

Breed name: Sunfire Longwing

Bird inspiration: unknown

Class: Longwing

Subclass: Standard

### Overview

As of this writing, there are no known pilots that ride a sunfire longwing. They are rare, hard to catch, and hard to tame. By all accounts, they are better left in peace, as they nest in colonies of up to twenty adults, and will mob anything that looks like a threat.

The sunfire is exceptional for its showy colors and unusually long feathers, giving it a fantastical appearance. There are theories that it is this breed that gave rise to the legend of the "pheonix" and related creatures. Seeing adults dive for fish truly is something worth waiting for.

### Coloration and Conformation

Sunfires come in varying shades of yellow and cream, with red or brown feathers in their crest, tail, and wings. They are standard longwings, with extraordinary stamina. Young sunfires are ready to fly within 6-8 weeks, and will be airborne for a large portion of their lives thereafter.
Red-Eyed Broadwing

Breed name: Red-Eyed Broadwing

Bird inspiration: Black-Shouldered Kite

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Light

### Overview

These pegasi are agile in the air, quick to take off and land, but can't easily carry heavy burdens. Spirited and energetic, red-eyes are often difficult to train and require a skilled pilot to handle them well. Favored as mounts for messengers and racers, red-eyes are notoriously picky about their food, and may refuse to eat if presented with anything they consider sub-par.

### Coloration and Conformation

Mostly grey or white, these pegasi get their name from their signature scarlet eyes. Primary flight feathers are often black or dark grey, giving them the appearance of a longwing in flight.
Heavenfell

Template:Completed

For other versions of Underfell, see Underfell (disambiguation).

**Heavenfell** is an AU based off Underfell, a different take created by Castel. Heavenfell begins with Frisk having fallen into the Underground and needing to cross the Barrier to return to the surface. Following that, this AU's plot closely follows that of Underfell, with Frisk and Flowey teaming up as pacifists trying to befriend the monsters of a twisted world where it's kill or be killed.

Unlike Underfell, as Frisk travels through the Underground, they develop an illness that causes black marks to form all over their body. Though they don't know what it is, Frisk feels they only have a limited time to escape the Underground before succumbing to this condition.

White-Chested Cliptail Longwing

Breed name: White-Chested Cliptail Longwing

Bird inspiration: White-Throated Kingfisher

Class: Longwing

Subclass: Pony

### Overview

Like their similar cousins, the blue bonnets, these are small pegasi (13 hands or so) and live near bodies of freshwater. Unlike most longwings, these cliptails don't tend to move around much, living in small enough groups that their freshwater homes can support them easily year 'round.

### Coloration and Conformation

The contrast of the red-brown body coat and the bright blue wings, in addition to the white chest gives this pegasus a striking appearance, making them desirable as pets or status symbols. Luckily for all involved, they are wary of humans and are difficult to capture, due to their light weight and fast takeoffs.
Basic World Overview

***Chasms cut across the landscape***, breaking the surface into “land islands” of all sizes. They range from a scant few hundred feet across to hundreds of miles wide. No one knows how deep the chasms are. The floors (if they have floors) are shrouded by mist, and no one who has ventured into the mist has returned alive.

Only creatures with the power of flight can cross the chasms. Many animals evolved some sort of flight mechanism or adapted to live in the sky. Those that did not remain isolated and further adapted for their highly specific ecosystem.

The Wild Winds is the region that is currently being developed by Larn.

***The people of the world*** often live in humble dwellings made of timber or brick. The general technology level is that of the 1700′s of our world: steam, coal, iron, some steel. Pegasus feathers have also become a useful commodity due to their lightweight but sturdy properties.

After The Cataclysm, mankind tamed the pegasus so they could cross the chasms. Those who fly pegasi are called “pilots”. Pilots herd other creatures and carry goods/messages across the chasms. They are the center of trading between the “islands”. It’s considered a dangerous job. Most pilots are courageous, rough, wild, daring, and highly talented. They consist of both men and women.

Over the years, pilots and craftsmen have developed specific gear and specialized saddles with which to ride pegasi. Most saddles are narrow in front to rest between the pegasus’ wings with a high cantle in the back. The pilot’s knees rest on the base of the wings (they look like how a jockey sits on a racehorse). Heel slings strap around the heel of the boot to hold the foot in place. Most of the pilot's weight in flight rests on the strap, rather than on the wings. Pilots don’t often use bridles. They rely on voice and leg commands to steer their pegasus.

***As for the pegasi themselves, there are 3 main classes*:**

   The **Broadwing Peagsus** is the workhorse of the world, and most pilots ride these. They are common, hardy, easy to feed, and trainable.

The **Longwing Pegasus** is a coastal breed, not as common nor as tough as the broadwing. They are very good at long-haul flights and are desireable by messenger pilots.

The **Shortwing Pegasus** is the draft horse of the world, large and steady, but unable to fly for any meaningful distance. Shortwings are often used by traders, farmers, and tinkers to pull carts, caravans, and ploughs.
Oak River Foothills

Lush, rolling foothills on the southern edge of the Shandy mountains blanketed in dense forest. Both the Den and Sheer rivers run through the hills. Nymbak herding routs run through this area, thus the region is dotted with semi-permeant camps, rest stops, and waypoints to assist pilots who're on herding drives.
Holli Matalutke

Holli is a stoic, quiet, capable 41 year old pilot-turned-homesteader. She grew up on a northerly island, helping her family raise, train, and sell snowy broadwings. As with most things in her life, Holli had access to only the best of bloodlines and the best of trainers. As a youngster, she longed to leave her sleepy little island and fly in a real pegasus squad. Fiercely independent and stubborn, she left the family aviary with one of the better stallions to make a name for herself in the wider world.

Sadly, not long after she left, the old family home suffered a string of bad winters which devestated the herd and damaged many of the outbuildings. The letter from her father, asking her to return, came just a few weeks after Holli had become acquainted with a charming, happy fellow named Rorek Matalutke. Reluctantly, she left him and her squad behind to return to her family home, finding it in poor shape. For two years she worked to keep the homestead together, struggling to make ends meet and maintain the dwindling herd. After her parents passed, within two months of one another, Holli sold the old homestead and the remainder of the herd, eager to put it all behind her.

Far from her old home and the memories of a failed farm, Holli found a valley high in the Shandy Mountains that already supported a herd of feral deepwood broadwings. With pockets of old growth forest and several small streams, it was the perfect place to set up a new homestead. It didn't take long to file a land claim and then locate Rorek again to invited him to join her. He did, of course, and together they have made the Matalutke Homestead into a place to be proud of.

   Holli now lives on a thriving homestead with Rorek and their daughter, Sanna.
Jewel Shortwing

Breed name: Jewel Shortwing

Bird inspiration: Rufous-Backed Kingfisher

Class: Shortwing

Subclass: Pony

### Overview

These pegasi are temperamental and opinionated, requiring a firm hand and consistent training. Being in the shortwing class, they cannot achieve full flight, but have proportionately large enough wings that they can give an inexperienced rider a challenge if they decide to. Prized due to their brilliant colors, jewels are most often purchased by land barons looking to show off their wealth.

### Coloration and Conformation

With a deep pink or purple wings and back, a lighter pink or orange chest and belly, and sometimes white socks, these pegasi are as bright as their name. Jewels are heavy for their size, and surprisingly strong, capable of carrying or pulling heavy loads. There are several breeders that have taken on jewel mares, trying to get their colors to breed through to their broadwing lines, but so far none of them have been successful (that we know of).
Religion and Holidays

## Common Religions

There are two main schools of thought: monotheism and the pantheon. There are several versions of each, but the monotheist view dominates most of the creation stories, and is similar to Chrstianity. The pantheon is similar to the Greek, Roman, and Norse pantheons. More on this to come soon.

## Other notable seasons/holidays:

### Winter Holiday Season

The winter holiday season is a true season. It lasts practically all winter in temperate zones.  Traveling craftsmen and musicians have made it this way. They'll go from town to town, and you never quite know when a toymaker will drop by on his pegasus or in a small caravan to hand out trinkets.

### Midwinter (the Winter Solstice)

This is one of the most important holidays of their year. On the rare occasions that this day is also a full moon, these people will spend the night in silent contemplation of the end and its meaning.

### Summer Solstice and Spring Equinox

Calendars are set by the sun, and so are some of the holidays. It is common practice to set/reset the clocks on the Spring Equinox. Some regions turn this into a holiday, with complex circular dances to reflect the motion of a clock and the cycles of the sun and moon.

The Summer Solstice, on the other hand, is frequently called "Midsummer Feast Day" and is an occasion to show off one's cooking and baking skills. In some towns, it's an all-out competition among neighbors. For everyone else, it just means an amazing meal.

### Harvest Days

Most islands will celebrate periodically throughout harvest season, to reward themselves for completing the harvest of one crop or another. There is a special emphasis on surviving hay season, which is often followed by a dance, bonfire, and all-night story-telling. If a traveling storyteller or minstrel isn't available, one of the older members of the community will tell a series of traditional tales, often about the Megasus and other legendary figures.

### Days of Light

With an emphasis on light, warmth, and color, the start of this fesitval is first day of warm spring weather, usually called "The Festival of Lights," but sometimes also referred to as "The Day of Falling Stars," depending on the region. This holiday is usually celebrated with colorful costumes, the construction and burning of a pegasus of straw and sticks, and (if they're available) fireworks. There is usually special emphasis on the sunrise, the growth of flowers, and the creation of paints and dyes.

### Night of the Great Eye

The Night of the Great Eye is something celebrated upon lunar eclipses, and especially bloodmoons. Sometimes called "the All-Devouring Maw," this night is centered around the belief that the moon is in fact the only visible part of a creature large enough to eat the world. In fact, believers say that it will eventually do just that, though no one is sure when. Most followers of the Great Eye put great value on not regretting the end, and being prepared for death. This seems morbid to some, but can be extremely satisfying.
Starlight Broadwing

Breed name: Starlight Broadwing

Bird inspiration: Unknown

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Standard

### Overview

A rare breed, starlight broadwings are said to have dusk in their tails, and stars set upon their crest and wings. They supposedly fly ahead of the night, guiding it over the earth. More likely, however, is their affinity for hunting nutritious moths as they appear at dusk. As of this writing, there are no known pilots that fly on a starlight, as none have been tamed or trained, or possibly even captured.

### Coloration and Conformation

As these pegasi are so rare, there are no reliable reports of their general coloration, only that they seem to have long, graceful tails and wear "starlight on their wings." Needless to say, gorgeous, and any pilot that tamed one would be very popular with local breeders, for sure.
Rorek Matalutke

Rorek is 47 years old and a pilot by trade. He’s daring, boisterous, energetic, and jovial. Having grown up in a family of pilots (they are actually known as "The Flying Family" by many locals) Rorek has been riding pegs more or less his entire life. His family was a loving one, but competitive in the extreme, leading him to recklessness as a young adult.

Joining with a posse for a nymbak herding drive, Rorek specialized as a chaser (one who goes after stragglers and herds them back into the main group) and still does to this day. This being his primary occupation, Rorek is seasonally absent from the homestead, but is always eager to return to his wife and daughter.

Rorek and Holli met on a nymbak drive when she saved him from falling to his death after a nymbak ram knocked him out of the saddle. The pair bonded quickly, to the point that when Holli returned to her parents' homestead, he offered to go with her. She declined, but Rorek didn't forget the feisty redhead. When Holli finally appeared like a messanger from heaven to offer him a place on her homestead, he accepted at once. (If you want to make him laugh, ask him about the time his wife proposed to him. It's a tale worth hearing.)
Pebble-Crested Crookwing

Breed name: Pebble-Crested Crookwing

Bird inspiration: Australian Magpie

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Short-hop

### Overview

This breed is extremely spirited and often considered thick-headed. In reality, they just need a pilot with a wit as quick as theirs. These pegasi are sometimes described by pilots as "snappy" in all senses of the word. A herd of pebble-crests will usually have a very strict pecking order, and any newcomers may face some very savage bullying until they've learned or won their place in the herd hierarchy.

### Coloration and Conformation

Pebble-crests are exclusively black and white, with varying quantities of spots present on the shoulders and hindquarters. They are best known for their bald crests and striking markings of stark black and white on both body and wings.

With the characteristically short back of their breed, pebble-crests are short-hop pegasi, best for short trips or crossing narrow chasms.

Mercer Boyd

Mercer is a broadwing trainer who specializes in backing and training young pegasi. Like his brother Sothy, he's daring, energetic, and a bit reckless. The number of times he's fallen off a peg in flight is high enough to have earned him a reputation for being indestructible.

Mercer and Sothy are close. The whereabouts of their parents is unknown - if they're still around, neither of the brothers are talking about it.

With a close bond and years of trust, Mercer trusts Sothy more than anyone else to help him when a particularly intractable peg comes into his care for training. Part of this may be owed to the fact that Marcer was the one that taught Sothy how to fly.

Whenever possible, Mercer will attend the ringer events his brother is competing in.
Molly Sheppard

Molly Sheppard is a shrewd, fearless girl who lives in Canyon Carver Falls with her parents, Carla and Patrick Sheppard. Molly loves having responsibilities, and is a bit bossy, but overall curious to know about the world she lives in.

   When her parents are away on nymbak drives (a regular occurrence against which Molly protests very loudly) the girl will stay at the Dusty Bowl Tavern with her Uncle Jeb. This is less boring than it might be, because it means she has lots of work to do and an excuse to look at the pegs that pilots fly into town.

Precosious and eager to prove herself, Molly does not care who you are or how important you may be. If you're bringing trouble into *her territory* you will get an earful about it.
Ember-Breasted Shortwing

Breed name: Ember-Breasted Shortwing

Bird inspiration: American Robin

Class: Shortwing

Subclass: Standard

### Overview

A shortwing with a gentle disposition, despite its rather sinister color scheme. There are some ranchers and merchants that will refuse to use the ember-breasted shortwing, simply because it looks like a peg that's recently trampled something. Those who handle them are quick to tell others that their steeds are neither as menacing nor as "ill-omened" as they appear, being just as sweet-tempered as anyone could wish for.

### Coloration and Conformation

With the standard heavy-set shortwing build, the ember-breast is a hard-wroking breed. They can be exceptionally food-motivated, particularly liking sugar and sweet berries. This can be a problem sometimes, if they're inactive for long stretches and given too many treats.

Primarily black or grey, the ember-breast gets its name from the red or strawberry coloration on the chest and throat. Some also have red in their crest, though this is less common.

Sapphire Broadwing

Breed name: Sapphire Broadwing

Bird inspiration: Mallard

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Light

### Overview

As with all pegasi that have blue feathers, these broadwings are considered highly valuable. With a slender, lightweight build, sapphires are popular among search and rescue teams, able to fly quickly over distances as scouts to lead the heavier broadwings and longwings in to carry the stranded traders or pilots away.

### Coloration and Conformation

Primarily brown with darker markings, the sapphire's claim to the name is in the iridescent secondary flight feathers.
Nymbak

Nymbaks are gazelle-like creatures.

They are hive-like in that if you capture the queen, the whole hive will follow. But the queen isn't necessarily docile, and the tusked males will dive bomb and try to spear anything that gets close to the queen.

But the risk is worth it as these animals provide useful materials like the wool that grows on their back (it can be sheared), and the fine skin of their wings, or the ivory of the tusks. There are annual nymbak drives to move the herds to new nesting, grazing, and shearing locations.
Sentomia Desert

A classic desert full of sand dunes and rocky outcroppings. A few nomadic pegasus pilot tribes live here, gathering rare ores and stones from the desert to polish, cut, and then sell at high prices. Lapis lazuli and turquoise come primarily from this region, lending a good deal of wealth to the tribes as the color for pilot scarves relies on the lapis lazuli they gather. These tribes tend to ride delicate broadwings, well-adapted for the desert heat and lack of water.
Whipcrest Longwing

Breed name: Whipcrest Longwing

Bird inspiration: Northern Lapwing

Class: Longwing

Subclass: Standard

### Overview

These longwings generally have good temperaments. They can be found along river deltas, or where rivers meet oceans. Feeding primarily off fish and amphibians, whipcrests are relatively easy to keep fed on long journeys, provided you're near a water source.

### Coloration and Conformation

Whipcrests are exclusively found in piebald colors, though the pattern and markings may vary from one individual to the next. Their distinctive crest features two or three very long, flexible feathers at the front of the crest between the ears. Some pilots think that at one point these longwings had full crests, like the quickfeather or opal broadwings, but lost it over time due to the need for maneuverability over strength or showy displays.
Ringer

Ringer is a timed obstacle course which is "run" by a pegasus and pilot in flight, requiring speed, agility, and a close bond between pilot and peg. Points are scored by gathering hoops or "rings" hanging on thin strings. Hoops of different colors are worth differing amounts of points.

**Green** rings are worth only one point. They are plentiful and usually easy to grab. **Yellow** rings are slightly less common, but still placed throughout the course. These are worth 3 points. **Red** rings are worth 10 points, and are generally much more difficult to grab. There are relatively few of these on the course, and require a strong pegasus and skilled pilot to grab them. **Blue** rings are the rarest, worth a whopping 25 points each. In order to grab these hoops, a pilot must be exceptionally gutsy and their peg perfectly trained.

>
> *"The pilot snatched a green hoop hanging out in the open on a pillar, then dove down to find a red hoop wedged in some rocks near the floor of the canyon. Then she followed a natural stone spire upwards, looping around it and grabbed a yellow hoop close to the stands.*
>
>

> *Her pegasus' outermost feathers whipped across the stands, forcing the spectators to scramble out the way, but they only cheered all the louder. Then she angled her pegasus toward a narrow archway. Within the center of the arch hung a blue hoop. The crowd anticipated the move, starting to chant. Picking up speed, and just moments from the archway, the pegasus folded its wings tightly to its body and shot through the small opening so fast you could barely see the pilot snatch the blue hoop from its string. The crowd roared again when she held it in the air triumphantly."*

Villages

Villages are small communities of hardscrabble sustinence farmers scattered across the Windy Wing Basin. Since most pilots fly over Windy Wing, these meger communities don't really offer any services to traveling pilots unless there is great need, and are often supplemented by traders and caravans traveling on foot. While they might be easily overlooked by the common passer-by, they do hold obscure and ancient knowlege handed down for generations upon generations. Curiously, many villages call pegasi "skyhorses", a word supposedly dating back before the Cataclysm.

If there is a notable village, it is Three Fields.
Southern Emerald Shortwing

Breed name: Southern Emerald Shortwing

Bird inspiration: Black-breasted Puffleg Hummingbird

Class: Shortwing

Subclass: Mini

### Overview

These tiny shortwings are found in tropical forests. Roaming in family herds 5-10 strong, they forage for fruits, nuts, & flora along the forest floor. Overall, emeralds are friendly and quite docile. They are rarely kept on ranches, due to their varied diet and need for extensive foraging territory. They may occasionally choose to stay near human settlements, however, owing to their social nature.

### Coloration and Conformation

Never taller than 9.5 hands at the shoulder, these pegasi are extraordinarily small. Their bodies are primarily black or dark grey, with iridescent green feathers at their crest, chest, and hindquarters. The characteristic white feathers on their legs are soft to the touch and particularly fluffy, making them desirable for the creation of quilted riding gear.
Careers

There are many jobs in the SC world, not only for those who fly pegasi, but for everyone else as well. Some careers are the same in the SC world as they were in ours during the late 1800s in rural/Western North America. Others are unique to the SC world.

### Agriculture and Artisanry

Farmers, blacksmiths, and other such positions are required to produce goods like food and tools. The majority of people in the SC world will have a job that falls into one of these categories, utilizing the strength of shortwing pegasi and humans to create their products.

### Pilots

As mentioned in the main article, pilots fill a large number of roles in SC society, performing all sorts of jobs from search and rescue to carrying and delivering messages or goods. The most common jobs for pilots are transporting goods or simply for moving themselves from place to place, offering their own skills and services in a wide range of locations.

### Breeders, Ranchers, and Eggers

Breeders and ranchers own land, maintaining herds of pegasi for rent or for sale. Some breeders are also pilots in their own right, though most are retired by the point they have the money and patience to purchase land and settle down. Eggers, on the other hand, are almost always pilots, seeking out the nesting grounds of wild pegasi and stealing their eggs to sell to breeders and ranchers as fresh stock.

### Racers and Ringers

Some pilots, rather than rendering a service for pay, will professionally engage in competitions. These are the smallest subgroup of pilots, as there are a limited number of competitions and a limited amount of prize money to be won. It is very easy to risk your livelihood on the outcome of a race, only to lose what little you had.

### Traders and Caravaneers

Traders will often belong to a guild or faction which supplies them with contacts and funding where necessary. They will often have a single or sometimes a couple permanent locations, and established deals with pilots or caravaneers to transport their goods. Caravaneers travel in groups, riding and transporting goods in covered wagons pulled by shortwing pegasi. It's always an exciting day for a settlement to see a caravan on the horizon.

### Entertainers

Some folk, pilots and otherwise, choose to make their living by performing for others. This can take the form of music, storytelling, puppetry, dancing, and acrobatics. These folk often favor bright colors and exotic pegasi, which bring in larger audiences.
Sniptail Longwing

Breed name: Sniptail Longwing

Bird inspiration: Frigate bird

Class: Longwing

Subclass: Longhaul

### Overview

Generally darker in color than other longwings, the sniptail is sometimes considered back luck, though they are extremely useful in search and rescue teams. Contrary to popular belief, sniptails are neither standoffish nor bad-tempered, and tend to become very attached to any pilot that can provide their favored food of raw fish.

### Coloration and Conformation

Sniptails are slender and strong, with plenty of whipcord muscle under their fine feathers. Their dark coloration might be a bit off-putting for some pilots, but those who can get past that are rewarded with a hardworking, loyal pegasus.
Dusty Bowl tavern

The Dusty Bowl is an old, but well-kept tavern in the town of Carver Canyon Falls.

   A frequent waystop for pilots passing through, the inn is well known for solid food, decent beds, and good service.

Owned and run by Jeb Dunn, any honest pilot or merchant passing through will be sure of a safe place to sleep and a full belly, in exchange for a few coins and the latest gossip.
Windy Wing Broadwing

Breed name: Windy Wing Broadwing

Bird inspiration: unknown

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Short-hop

### Overview

The broadwings of the flat plains tend to have slightly smaller wings than their mountain and forest relatives. They’re agile in the air, and best for short flights & quick take-offs. Popular with traveling craftsmen… or anyone who needs a good getaway peg.

### Coloration and Conformation

These pegasi are possibly the most common breed, found on every known habitable island with lowland plains. While the majority may be found in brown, grey, bay, and palomino, windy wings can be found in almost every possible color and marking combination, and mix well with other breeds.
Marks, Pins, Patches, and Signets

A Mark is, simply put, a logo for a person, family, or group that runs a business or partakes in a trade. So a family who breeds pegs will have a Mark. A posse that rides rescue on the Bushcat Flats will have a Mark. A blacksmith or farrier will have a Mark. So will a Pilot who trains other Pilots. These symbols or logos will be small, easily replicated, and recognizable. A person or group's Mark has legal power and may serve in place of a signature or statement of ownership.

Anyone can make a Mark. There are no limits and in most towns there is no registration process. The generally accepted rule, however, is that a person has only one Mark that they make for themselves, and then do businss by that Mark and the reputation it conveys on the owner.

In addition to their personal Mark, a pilot must carry a Mark from the person who trained them, as a certification of their worth in the air. Certain trainers have better repuations than others, so getting a Mark from a known/skilled trainer can often get you better jobs and more respect. Most pilots prefer to wear their Marks on the blue scarves that mark them as full-fledged pilots, though some may carry Marks on their saddles if they have several.

The types of Marks that may be carried by a single person at any given time include:

* Their trainer's Mark
* The Mark of their current posse, faction, or trade
* Marks granted as a reward for outstanding achievements or winning prestigious competitions
* Their family Mark

These Marks may be kept as individual and unique symbols, or worked together into a single Mark, incorporating elements (such as shapes, borders, or letters) to indicate each honor given to the owner. Pilots particularly like to be highly decorated, as it grants both increased reputation and bragging rights.

The majority of people, pilot or otherwise, see having multiple Marks as a good thing - the more, the better. As with most things, having several Marks is seen as a good thing, but carrying too many at once will look suspicious, and may earn you the suspicious side-eye in towns where youre Mark isn't well known.

It is common practice for artisans such as smiths and potters to mark their goods with their personal Mark. In the same vein, it is expected for a well-known breeder to apply their Mark to the colts and fillies of their herds in the form of a brand, ear tag, or wing band, depending on the island.

General rules:

* Usually 1” - 4” in diameter, often on the smaller side
* Can be embroidered on cloth or carved, stamped, or etched into leather, bone, horn, wood, or metal
* Can be any symbol, but monograms are most common
* Can be supplemented by any other generally known Marks that represent honors
* Usually a 1:1 image ratio - square or circle
