Skyrger

Skyrger is a fictional element used in fantasy and science fiction works to denote airborne beings or devices linked to atmospheric phenomena. Across novels, role-playing games, and digital media, Skyrgers are typically associated with flight, weather control, or storm-mentoring.

The etymology of the name appears differently by work, but it is commonly interpreted as a compound of sky-related terms, often glossed as "sky-walker" or "storm-harvester." The term is primarily used within a shared-universe setting but has been adopted by multiple authors.

In appearance and abilities, Skyrgers are depicted in two broad forms: living beings—ethereal, winged, or partially translucent entities—and non-living devices such as autonomous aerial constructs powered by storm energy. They may manipulate wind currents, summon gusts, influence precipitation, or serve as navigators of air routes; some depictions give them telepathic links with weather mages or pilots.

In-world role, Skyrgers are frequently portrayed as guardians of air routes, harbingers of weather events, or solitary wanderers guiding or challenging travelers. Cultural depictions range from revered weather spirits to feared omens, with art and folklore reflecting their ambiguous nature.

Variants and reception: Because Skyrger appears in multiple works with differing canon, there is no single definitive description. Readers should consult specific texts to understand the source’s interpretation, abilities, and significance.
