History
Started after C1 by Captain Will Terry and his first mate, Maebe Bones, who became the CEO while he captained the flagship, the Fok Yaw. Had a fleet of ships across the Lancu Sea in Domunz.
Some time after C2, the business evolved as airships became available for public use, and they started building a small fleep of airships to go across Domunz and Oroccid, thus facilitating talks and trades (after centuries without) across the continent.
Few were aware that Captain Will and Maebe were an item, at least until their daughter, Millie Terry-Bones was born. She eventually took over the family business when her parents passed away.
In the present age, Millie's daughter Oftena Bones is CEO of the Yaw Conglomerate, with her son Billie Terry-Bones taking up the family mantle of Captain of the flagship airship, the Yaw Squeen.

NATIVES
SKYSHIPS (info from Exandria books)
- Luxurious passage through the clouds themselves—it's a romantic idea cultivated to appeal to the wealthiest citizens of Exandria. As an added bonus, skyship travel avoids the inherent dangers of a journey by land or sea, and is more readily available than teleportation magic. These beautiful airships range in size but generally are the same size as a merchant coaster. Skyships are held aloft and guided with the help of three or more enchanted crystals called brumestones, which are installed along the hull or topside of the ship. The enchantments required to produce and maintain these brumestones are closely guarded by the Alsfarin Union within the distant city of Ank'Harel. While the Alsfarin Union occasionally sells skyships to foreign businesses, they retain absolute control over the maintenance of skyships in operation.
- Skyships are reserved for goods and individuals who want to circumvent the slow speed or danger of an ocean voyage and can afford the exorbitant cost of air travel. No commoner can afford to charter a skyship, and the lower classes of Exandria generally see air travel as just another way for the wealthy elite to lord their superiority over the poor. Others, however, see the majestic craft as aspirational and long to become rich enough to afford one, or skilled enough to pilot one.
