Many creatures arrived when the [[Astral Gates]] opened, some evolved from regular creatures due to the large influx of magic, and some creatures were present on Earth long before the first [[Maelstrom]]. | ||

=== [[wikipedia:Zephyr|Zephyrs]] === | |||
Also known as "wind spirits", zephyrs are used to power airships for public travel, although there are concerns about putting people's safety in the hands of zephyrs.<ref>[[The New York Oracle|Newscaster headline 68]] - ''"Airships have made travel faster than ever, but not everyone is comfortable putting their safety in the hands of a Zephyr. Are those concerns reasonable or just misplaced fear?"''</ref> [[Holliday]] refuses to use airships.<ref>[[Holliday's visual novel|Holliday's Visual Novel]] - [[Holliday's visual novel/Transcription|Chapter 1]] - Larry: ''"It would have been a lot faster if you just took an airship."'' - {{PageRef|name=Holliday}}: ''"Yeah, but that would have meant getting on an airship."''</ref> Zephyr powered airships are used instead of aeroplanes.<ref>2024-08-31 - [[Yoshi]]; [[:File:Yoshi Lore Hint from Discord.jpg|Deadlock Discord]] - ''"a random lore thing is that airplanes aren't a thing in this world, they use airships instead powered by wind spirits (zephyrs)"''</ref> | |||
