Skywardens are elite formations of Arkanaut warriors, aerial cavalry granted the power of flight by portable aether-endrin harnesses. These skyfaring shock troops harry the foe with hit-and-run attacks, swooping from on high to skewer enemies upon long-hafted skypikes or hovering at short range to incinerate them with vulcaniser pistols, then jetting away and leaving a trail of floating explosives in their wake.
