The Description Game
Skymonger:
Captain Strangherl's Fury is an event during the Great Chaladonian/guild border skirmish in which 8 coastal Guild cities were properly leveled in Chaladons name.
Captain Strangherl is known throughout the lands as "The crestfallen sunderer", A captain with a reputation of being one of the rare few to own an Ancient naval battleship still in working order.
Similar to the battleship wrecks found in the Dune sea, Strangherl and his salvage company took it upon themselves to put together the "USS Thumderong hearts" and make it sea worthy as it did, 200 years ago.
Needless to say, he and his company were successful and went from a salvaging group to the proud owner of the largest manmade object in the age of Skies.
Now, during the border-skirmish, Chaladon paid top dollar for Strangherls services as he and his 200 year old battleship shocked the world through the destruction of 8 coastal cities within guild territories.
His 8 pre world war artillery cannons properly obliterated anything in todays time from range, and he smashed any defending guild fleet with a devestating volley of 40/75/and 20 mm cannons.
Many guild lives and valuables were lost that week. And the event became known as "The Depressing Crash."
- Yesha's Thunder Run.

I was writing this when Skymonger beat me to the punch, but I don't wanna waste it...
When Captain Strangherl witnessed his home town burnt to cinders by a group of raiders, he took his Galleon, his crew, and fought off 4 raider ships simultaneously, knowing that he would be torn to shreds by their incoming reinforcements. After taking out the first four, his ship was in tatters. Making a decision, he steamed straight for the leader's Squid, under full moonshine, buffed engines, and willing the ship to go faster. The squid was torn almost in half from the impact, and as the two ships plummeted towards the cold ground of Firnfield, Strangherl jumped ship, onto the enemy squid, and seized ahold of the Captain. Whispering into the raider's ear, hands around his neck, he said, "Do you know the difference between choking and strangulation?"
Bathed in the glow of dying fires, when they finally hit the ground the broken, asphyxiated body of the enemy captain broke Strangherl's fall.
Nonetheless, he took his surviving crew and disappeared into the night, only to be heard of in legends and tall tales about a single Galleon, tattered and half wrecked, destroying whole patrols of slavers and raiders before vanishing into the mists.
All deceased enemy crewmen found in the wreckage had telltale bruising around their necks.
-A story passed around campfires by drunk sailors. Based very much in truth.
Yesha's Thunder Run is an extremely treacherous group of narrow canyons, barely wide enough for an airship. Named such because the echo of engines reverberating through it in the right way sounds like crashing thunder in a lightning storm.
Bulwark Ultra-Heavy Infantry
Skymonger:
Bulwark ultra heavy infantry is a classification of "homeguard" used by Anglean militaries with the sole purpose of defending the Frozen fortresses they are stationed at with unholy ferocity.
Much like how Anglean raiders are arguably one of the scariest to fight off next to Arashi Skirmishers, Bulwark Infantry are arguably one of Hardest to kill off next to Baronies Royal knights.
Armed with a Submachinegun, Hammer, Two absurdly large Plates of steel attached to their shoulders, and a Retractable shield on their arm, its quite obvious that these men arent backing down for anything other than Overwhelming odds.
Many attackers often run away in terror after seeing these men shrug off tank shells and Aerial bombardments from galleons, and consider them to be warriors of god.
The fact that they also love to charge in and crush enemies with their shield and hammer also add to the nightmare fuel and reputation of these men.
(Nice story Shade, it could be backstory)
-Arashi's Midsummer Winter.
Carn:
A incredibly rare meteorological phenomenon. In the heart of the Arashi desert there has been a record of two snowfalls Midsummer night. The term has been attributed to rare, lucky events that do not last long.
