Shory
The Shory (pronounced shoh-REE)[1] were an ancient people who traveled the world in great flying cities during the Age of Destiny. Their flying cities and many other wonders were accomplished through the use of a form of long-forgotten magic known as Aeromantic Infadibulum.[2] The first of these magical cities, Kho, was completed in -2323 AR.[3] The fall of the Shory was not caused by a single event, so much as a long decline. One by one their magnificent flying cities fell to disease, war, or monsters. It is believed that most of these crashed flying cities lie scattered across the mountain peaks surrounding the Mwangi Expanse.[4]
Since no one could determine a definite final fate of the Shory empire, their history passed into myth. Many modern scholars now believe that the tales of the Shory cities' ability to fly to be nothing more than fanciful exaggeration.[5]
In the current age, only one last outpost of the Shory empire survives: the stranded sky-city of Yjae, hovering over the desert of Shaguang in Tian Xia.[6]
