Skylords are immortal beings that are the soldiers and aides of Gods. They live amongst the gods in the Forge of Creation, a magical city floating in the sky. After the Giants were defeated and driven underground, the mortals who had fought in the resistance and had done great deeds in the final battles alongside the gods were rewarded. The gods raised them, calling them up to the Forge of Creation to be soldiers and aides, immortal and incorporeal. These beings were called the Lords of the Sky, or the Aedai in the old Amii language.
