Fanart - SkyPirateStuck!Horuss

The Jockey, Horuss Zahhak, knows how to ride a horse.  Equipped with a blacksmith’s creativity and a self-designed riding crop, he dominates the Beforus racetrack.  Some even say he’s spent his nights there.  But those closer to him know this stud is in a dedicated relationship with the shaman who cares for his steeds, Rufioh Nitram.

In this universe, steam power (much like nuclear power) was invented during war that destroyed the earth’s surface.  Thus, people created great engines to lift islands of arable land into the sky. This resulted in two classes of people: those who live on the sky islands and those who power the steam engines that keep it afloat.  Body modification with steam-powered accessories has become the norm to help people survive with their minimal resources.
