Handler inquiries and field protocols

Find quick answers to flight safety precautions, habitat care routines, and campaign lore references.

Every handler must be equipped with a heat-tempered leather saddle harness, dual-carabiner tether lines, and enchanted flame-retardant gauntlets. We also recommend acoustic dampeners to protect against sonic roars during high-altitude dives.
