AERONAUTS are the pilots of Pangaria, those tasked with operating the flying vehicles that keep the floating islands of the archipelago connected to each other. They will have a full leather flightsuit that doubles as hauberk armour, and a large wrench or spanner that can be used as a club. Aeronauts will also have Goggles, a Brass Telescope, and an Aeronaut Helmet, as well as 1-3 of the following (reroll any duplicates):

Roll Aeronaut Gear

1 Nose Filters

2 Ear Plugs

3 Roll: 1-3 Bottle of Special Brew, 4-6 Pipe and Smoking Weed

4 a good Book

5 a Flintlock Pistol and ammo

6 a Familiar (roll: 1-2 Eye-Spy, 3-4 Techno-Homunculus, 5-6 Winged Gremlin)

Also roll for the type of transport the Aeronaut is piloting.

Roll Aerial Vehicle

1-2 Hovers

3-4 Flyer

5 Airship

6 Cruiser

Aeronauts are sometimes required by the Sky Watch to pilot flyers on covert missions beyond Pangaria, but by and large their aerial activities - transport, haulage, island maintenance, patrolling - are limited to Pangarian airspace. One of the most noted Aeronauts of recent times is the Goblin Daxa who hails from Cumulus Island and narrowly escaped from a Lightning Serpent that was menacing the Sky Bridge to Cirrus there.

Aeronaut Helmet (#18/30, #319/365) [EA:V2] (Enchanted Item)

This is a leather and brass helmet with a flippable visor made from special enchanted crystal to enhance sight and make vision sharper. Anyone wearing an Aeronaut Helmet with the visor down can add 1 to their SKILL score while they are using it, even if this takes their SKILL above its Initial level. In addition the helmet also offers some protection in combat; if the wearer suffers a hit from a weapon in battle, they can reduce the damage done by 1 STAMINA on a roll of 5 or 6 on one die. Aeronaut Helmets are worn by the Aeronauts of Pangaria as they pilot flyers and other aerial vehicles between the floating islands of that hidden archipelago.
