The Skyfolk of Empyrea were believed to be one of the exiled tribes of Adam. They came to the realm of Tír na nÓg during the month of the Willow in the year, 3097 B.C.E. Very little is known about where the Empyrean Exiles came from, but there are rumors that they hail from the Realm of Tír nam Beo, the Land of the Living.
The Skyfolk descended from the heavens in great flaming ships. Their zealotry is known throughout the realm, although little is known about their way of life within the walls of their city erected in the neck of the Great Expanse. For ninety-five years the Empyrean people have lived in isolation. They bore strange markings across all of their body, tattoos that some in the realm of Tír na nÓg believe to be the words of Adam’s followers in the First Age. Over the past twenty years, there have been a number of reports of deserters who have abandoned the Articles of Conviction in defiance of the Ensí Ubara Tutu and his iron rule.
Also to @Luke Fellner I get a lot of story inspiration from books and games alike. Games can have some great deep stories too and in some ways, they connect you a lot closer to the characters than in more traditional books. I had an author at a convention give me these tips
1.Forget the "rules" people think there is some set way a book has to be and that is simply not true. Try new things, add your own flair, draw inspiration from anything you want. Never feel like you have to follow some specific ruleset or convention in order to write.
2.Don’t write a story you think people are expecting or wanting to read. Write a story you want to write and then sell that to them and then let them connect with it.
There were some others but yeah those two stuck with me after that and help me.
