newmonster    "Airya Archer"
descr         "One may wonder how the Cloud Dwellers' archers are able to keep their bow stable while flying, as their bows do not seem to possess any peculiar properties. When our own soldiers have fired them, the bows seem to be no different from our own. The archers are primarily used for sieges where they will fly over the besieged town or castle and fire their bows from far above. If they were stronger, better organized or had a bit more mental capacity they would make a formidable foe. But being as fickle as the wind has worked against them in many wars.^ Another factor that works against them is their poultry-like intellect. It is said that during the siege of Merburg, an illusionist was hired by the mayor of the town in order to save them from a large host of flying soldiers. The illusionist awaited a heavy rain, and when it started to rain she conjured up a fascinating display in the sky above the Cloud soldiers. They all turned their heads up towards the colorful skies, gaping widely, and and while gaping they failed to notice that their throats filled up with water - so they all drowned while staring up at the sky."
