 Skyloftians are the people who live in the village of Skyloft, located in the Sky above the clouds. These people revere [[Loftwing]]s which they use as mounts, depicting them as cultural symbols and relying on them for games and travel amongst the islands of The Sky. The Skyloftians regard the land below as a dark place and do not venture there; no Skyloftian has ever seen the [[Surface]].
-The bird symbols that decorate Skyloft look like a variation of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]]'s crest, minus the [[Triforce]] on it. It is speculated that the Skyloftians predate the Hyruleans and the Royal Family entirely.
+The bird symbols that decorate Skyloft look like a variation of the [[Royal Family of Hyrule]]'s crest, minus the [[Triforce]] on it. Skyloftians are the predecessors of the [[Human]] races of Hyrule and beyond, with Zelda's descendants specifically being the Hylian Royal Family.
 The Skyloftians appear to live a peaceful life, but their interactions with other sky beings is unclear, and they do seem to have a [[Knight Academy]]. These Knights complete various missions and tasks, so it may be that Skyloft has heavy involvement with the world that surrounds them, and they may be capable of defending themselves.
-Within Skyloft there is a statue of a single goddess. This goddess is the deity [[Hylia]], which they pray to.
+The religion of most Skyloftians is worship of [[Hylia]]. A [[Statue of the Goddess|a giant statue of "the Goddess"]] dominates one of the landmasses of Skyloft.
