Skywings worship a legendary bird known as The Phoenix, a immortal deity made of fire that renews itself by turning into ash every thousand years and rekindling another thousand years later.
Skywings believe they will be reincarnated after they die
An old Skywing folk tale known as "The Molt" tells of how a Skywing commoner stole a feather of the Phoenix and gained their fire unrightfully. It has often taught generations the danger of obtaining a power greater than themselves and has served as conservative propaganda against firescales
For Skywing funerals Skywings will let the deceased lie under the open sky for a week, then burn the body into ashes. The family of the deceased will keep half of the ashes, and the rest will be released into the wind as an offering for the Phoenix to give strength for its next reincarnation. (Ashes represent the body while the sprit is intangible)
A spiritual tradition held by Skywings is to sprinkle the remaining ashes of their deceased family members onto their nest of unhatched eggs
Skywings interpret lightning storms as the Phoenix's wrath. If a Skywing were to ever be struck by lightning, it would be a punishment by the Phoenix, and the spirit of the dragon could never reincarnate.
