In a world where landmasses drift among the clouds, survival depends on reading the winds. The eagle riders of the Heights cling to fragile islets, knowing each will one day fall into the Storm below. At lower altitudes, pilots chart the skies in zeppelins and steam-powered planes.

Deswegen sah sich Max Richter nicht nur mit Kreatiuren der Herde, sondern auch mit Monstern in menschlicher Gestalt konfrontiert.
