Ornithopters     Ornithopters were originally Alacrian military vehicles meant to provide a cheaper alternative to arcjets. In modern times, smaller ones have been re-introduced by elven industry as status symbols. In either case, ornithopters fly by mimicking the natural movements of birds and insects with long, lightweight wings. Smaller versions often strongly resemble their natural counterparts, while heavier models feature multiple wings beating in a blur with deafening noise - analogous to an Earth helicopter.

Pilot Competence     If the pilot of an ornithopter lacks competence in ornithopters, they cannot safely operate the vehicle. Ornithopters are simply too unintuitive and unforgiving to fly.

Vertical Landing Areas     Ornithopters can land anywhere there is sufficient space for the aircraft. This is generally possible anywhere within Terrain Ease 2 or greater (see Travel), some parts of TE1, and virtually nowhere in TE0. Even if an ornithopter is unable to land, it can drop ladders to receive characters on the ground if the vehicle lists side entry.
