Wyvern Knights

The Wyvern Knights are the Lothal military's air force and chief counter to the Kingdom of Karak, their aarakocra neighbors. Each knight is partnered with a wyvern, hatched from eggs that come from both a breeding program and wild nests. While their numbers are not great, each knight is comparable to an entire unit of infantry. The knights regularly fly patrols around the country but are most heavily concentrated around the borders. They also serve as messengers when magical communication is not an option.
Commander Truestrike leads the Wyvern Knights from Fort Vertina, which doubles as a training ground for young wyverns and squires.
Their flight speed means the Wyvern Knights are typically the first military branch to assist the Adventurer's Guild whenever a situation arises that requires both groups to handle. During the Ant Uprising, they kept the skies clear of flying ants while the adventurers handled things on the ground. They performed hit and run attacks during the Dragon Turtle Migration and later assisted with evacuating the survivors from Kirigakure on Commander Truestrike's orders. At the Battle of Inkhear, they airdropped soldiers into the city before engaging the Morlocks' forces in battle themselves.
