Mosquito Flyers
- "There is a handle attached to something like the reins of an ox yoke. You move it left and right, forward and back. It should swim through the air fairly smoothly".
- "So it's like flying a swimming ox. Well *that* helps".
- –Sagacious Zu and the Player
Flyers were arcane machines fueled by calculated magic and esoteric science that were used for air travel and combat throughout the Jade Empire. Most of the inventors behind these machines were often either quite mad or dead, inevitable consequences of the celestial energies they harnessed.
