Cultural Significance
Aeromancy belongs to Aeriel life the way flight does. Children learn simple wind-shaping before they soar long distances. Without this magic the high trade routes that feed the islands would not exist.
Lore
The first deliberate act of aeromancy was a funeral rite. Elder Caelari Vessin Ashwing called a gentle descending gyre that carried the first Archon's ashes up toward the stars. The Aeriels say the sky remembers every wind their people have ever shaped. During the Duskwind Crisis, Archon Seraphis Dawnmantle stretched an aeromantic lattice across the continent and turned a catastrophic sky-storm away from Caelum's most crowded islands. A third of the sky defence lay bedridden for a season afterwards.
