Katherine Valentine

**Katherine Valentine** is the daughter of Thaddeus Valentine, Head of the Guild of Historians and a popular Londoner.

Katherine grew increasingly estranged from her father, especially after learning from the Apprentice Engineer Bevis Pod that Valentine pushed Tom down the chute. Together, the two learned that Valentine's energy project in the re-purposed St Paul's Cathedral is more than it seems.

Katherine helped Tom to destroy London's engine core to slow it down, preventing it from crashing. The surviving Londoners, led by Katherine, make peace with the Anti-Tractionists. But the Ancients destroyed much of Earth, killing Katherine in the process.
Salzhaken

**Salzhaken was a small Bavarian mining town that was powered by C-20 land engines, being able of reaching a speed of 120 MPH, and was rich in common resources such as bricks, coal and iron, but had a crazy amount of salt. He was caught by London and ingested in the Gut**

## Behind the scenes

* In the novel, Salzhaken was named Salthook.
Shan Guo

**Shan Guo** (Chinese: 山國) was the leading nation-state of the Anti-Traction League and was situated in what was left of western China and Central Asia. It was protected from the Great Predator Cities of the West by a series of mountain ranges and swamps. The only pass through these mountains was defended by the Shield Wall and the adjacent city of Batmunkh Gompa.
Anti-Traction League

The **Anti-Traction League** is an organization opposed to the prevalence of Traction Cities and Municipal Darwinism.

## Geography

The League controls most of Central Asia and at least some of Eastern Asia. Some lands include northern India, China and the Himalayas. These lands are protected from the Traction Cities of Europe by a massive mountain range, which includes the Himalayas. The only pass through these mountains is protected by the 'Shield Wall', a massive fortress of obsidian and the old deck plates of cities that dared try to pass it, several kilometres high, protected by missile batteries and a fleet of military airships (known as the Northern Fleet). Behind the Shield Wall the garrison city of Batmunkh Gompa resides. The two names are often used interchangeably.

The League is made up of many nations and kingdoms, whose people live in static towns and cities. The principal nation is Shan Guo, located in Western China and Central Asia. It was founded by Chinese refugees of the Sixty Minute War.

## History

The League was founded in the aftermath of the Sixty Minute War.

Airhaven

**Airhaven** was an airborne structure. The station has a number of docks, shops and restaurants built into it, but due to its skeletal nature can be very dangerous to visit, as no safety precautions are installed to save those who have fallen.

Airhaven is attacked by Shrike, who had caused a number of small explosions as a diversionary tactic. One of these explosions managed to reach the upper level of the station, causing the balloon system to rupture and sending Airhaven plummeting from the sky. The remains of the station combusted upon making contact with the Earth's surface, completely destroying it.

It is implied that Airhaven's crash site was obliterated by the Ancient attack on Earth.

Fender Stratocaster Hardtail Natural 1979

The guitar suffers from substantial wear, nothing abnormal for a guitar this age but something we would describe as "fair" condition. Action and setup are great, however, electronics work perfectly and sound excellent. There is not substantial fret wear, but the frets are very low. The fretboard is very thin as well. Some of the finish is worn off on the front of the body, there is noticeable pick scratching on the pickguard and pickups, and what looks like a scrape on the side of the neck.

Tom Natsworthy

**Tom Natsworthy** is a love interest of Hester Shaw.

Tom was a Third Class Apprentice, working under Chudleigh Pomeroy.

Tom was accompanied by his hero, Head Historian Thaddeus Valentine, as well as Valentine's daughter Katherine. Together, they approached the Salzhaken scavengers to purchase Old Tech. However, one was an assassin in disguise, and attempted to stab Valentine. Tom managed to stop the attack, and pursued the girl towards the furnace district.

The would-be killer revealed her name to be Hester Shaw. She claimed that Valentine was responsible for her disfigurement before leaping down a waste chute. Shortly after, Valentine arrived and to Tom's surprise, pushed him down after her.

Together, Tom and Hester trailed London, eventually found a town named Scuttlebug. However, the mayor had the pair drugged with the intention of selling them as slaves. At the slave market of Rustwater, they were rescued by Anna Fang, who smuggled them to Airhaven aboard the Jenny Haniver.

Tom, Hester and Anna dined at the Gasbag and Gondola inn, accompanied by several of her Anti-Tractionist friends. The dinner was interrupted by the arrival of Shrike, a Stalker sent by London mayor Magnus Crome to kill Hester. While the aviators held off Shrike, Tom and Hester escaped Airhaven.

Tom, Hester and Anna, went to Shan Guo.

After dropping Hester onto London, Tom destroyed London's engine.

Hester, Tom, Anna, and the remaining Anti-Tractionists executed a raid against London, braving the city's anti-aircraft defences.

With Katherine's help, Tom destroyed London's engine to slow it down, rescued Hester and shot down Valentine's ship. They decided to travel in the Jenny Haniver to see the world, only to be caught off-guard by the sudden arrival of the Ancient-Vasudan attack. He was incinerated to death by the exploding airship, while Hester was thrown out and was subsequently rammed out of the sky by an unidentified fighter.

Tale

**Tale** er en impro-disciplin for 1 spiller.

Én af spillerne skal holde en tale. Publikum har dog før showet skrevet en række ord på nogle papirer, som spilleren skal integrere i sin tale undervejs. Publikum kan evt. også bestemme anledningen for talen. Taleren får selvfølgelig først vist publikums ord undervejs i scenen.

Det kan være en god idé, at lade publikum skrive ordene i stor størrelse på A3-papirer. Således kan ordene først vises til publikum og derefter til taleren.

Som variation kan man lade taleren være en nyhedsvært i stedet.

First made famous by The Beatles and later popularized by artists as diverse as Tom Petty, R.E.M., and Against Me, the Rickenbacker 360 has firmly planted itself as one of the most renowned guitars in music history.
Bedste venner

**Bedste venner** er en impro-disciplin for 3 spillere.

To spillere starter på scenen og spiller to gode venner, der venter på, at en tredje ven skal ankomme. Undervejs i scenen falder snakken på den tredje ven og dennes underlige vane (fx breakdancer ved berøringer, bliver meget nemt forskrækket etc). Når den tredje spiller ankommer, skal han/hun så integrere den underlige vane i sit spil. Herefter finder en af de andre spillere en årsag til at forlade scenen midlertidigt og samme princip gentages - spilleren kommer tilbage og integrerer vanen i sit spil. Sådan fortsætter disciplinen, indtil alle vennerne har fået en pudsig vane.
Fender Stratocaster Elite 1983

OverviewIn CaseCase ExteriorNeck PlateHeadstockBackPickguardControlsBridgeThroughout the 1970s, Fender's reputation for building the finest electric instruments in the world was starting to wane. A series of cost-cutting measures and relatively poor quality control during the 1970s left many players jumping ship for other brands, most notably the impressive wave of quality Japanese instruments that became available throughout the decade. Meanwhile, the previously nonexistent aftermarket parts market had taken off, with companies like Seymour Duncan and EMG offering higher-quality pickups with experimental actve electronics.

By 1983, Fender had realized the threats to its longstanding popularity. The early 80s saw Fender's first vintage reissues, several reversions to "Pre-CBS"  design choices (such as the 4-bolt neck), and Fender's first "premium" offerings, such as this Elite Stratocaster.

The Elite Stratocaster was only produced in 1983 and 1984. It featured a newly designed top-mounted "Freeflyte" tremolo system, and as such did not have the typical rear spring cover that had been a staple of Stratocaster design from the beginning. On top of a new tremolo system, the Elite sports three dummy-coiled Alnico V pickups, the technical forerunners to the modern Noiseless series, which eliminate hum while [mostly] retaining the classic Strat single-coil tone. The typical 5-way switch was replaced with three individual pickup switches, allowing for two new pickup combos: Neck+Bridge, and all 3 on, which were not accessible via the standard blade switch. Lastly, the Elite introduced the TBX tone circuit and MDX active midrange boost, which would later appear in several "artist signature" models throughout the late 80s and 1990s.

This particular Elite is in very good shape. There is some very light scratching on the back, but nothing more than lacquer-deep, some expected pick scratching on the pickguard, some light checking in the body finish (due only to age), and a couple minuscule dents in the headstock and body that have not cracked the finish. There is almost zero visible fret wear, neck is straight, action is good, and electronics fully functional. It appears to be equipped with gold Schaller strap locks, and includes a Fender strap, the tremolo arm, original ABS plastic hard shell case, and truss rod adjustment wrench.

Ampeg V4 1972-1975

V4 FrontV4 SwitchesV4 Control PanelV4 InputsV4 Back MiddleV4 Back LeftV4 Back RightAmpeg co-founder Everett Hull was decidedly ﻿not﻿ a fan of Rock n Roll. His early products were all aimed at jazz players, and early Ampeg amps were celarly designed to stay as clean as possible when cranked--quite the opposite of what most rock players were seeking. Even when Ampeg finally built a "Fenderesque" guitar amp with a crunchy drive and spring reverb in 1964, Hull obstinately included "Accordion" labels on the inputs.

By 1969, though, Rock was firmly established and clearly not going away. Ampeg caught up, first revolutionizing the bass amp with the SVT in 1969, followed by a new lineup of guitar and bass amps for 1970. Among this new lineup was the V4, a 100W all tube guitar amp with spring reverb which, thanks to a cleverly crafted tone stack and several toggle switches, could dial in anything from chiming Fender cleans to fat Marshall crunch and everything in between. The Rolling Stones, whose relationship with Ampeg started in 1969 when they embarked on a tour of the US, made the V4 famous shortly after, using the amp on at least some of Sticky Fingers﻿ and most of Exile on Main Street.﻿ Loud and versatile, with killer clean and dirty tones plus a knack for taking pedals, the V4 firmly cemented itself as an all-time classic design.

This particular V4 was built sometime between 1972 and 1975. This is considered an "early" unit, with no master volume control or distortion circuit. The amp is functioning perfectly, with a complement of recent JJ 7027s driving the power section. Cosmetically, the amp is in fair condition. Nearly all of the labels on the front panel have worn off, but a previous owner meticulously re-drew the black outline boxes with a ruler and a sharpie. There are some small nicks and tears in the tolex, but the cabinet is sturdy and there are no major tears or flaws. Power cord is the original 2-prong.

First released in the late 1980s, the JEM series has seen continuous production for nearly 30 years featuring an ever-expanding lineup of instruments. The JEM7V model was first produced in 1993 and is still in production as of 2016.

This JEM7V was built in 2000. The JEM7V has seen several changes to its design over the years, but in 2000 the guitar was still built more or less the same as the originals in 1993--an Alder body with thin basswood veneer is mated to a one-piece Maple neck with Ebony fretboard, topped with an Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge locking tremolo, DiMarzio Evolution pickups, and Gotoh tuners. Frets 21-24 are scalloped.

The condition of this guitar is close to immaculate. Owned by a serious collector, this JEM rarely left its case, and it shows: there are no pick scratches, no fret wear, no buckle rash, no chips, dents, scrapes, chips, cracks, or other damage. There is some pitting on the gold bridge hardware. Guitar includes original Ibanez hard shell case, also in excellent condition.

By 1968, Ampeg was firmly planted as a world class amp builder, having had massive success with their Portaflex "flip top" amplifier series, headlined by the B-15N which was the preferred amp of nearly every Motown act of the 60s. The B-25 was something of a "spiritual successor" to the B-15N, at least in terms of the circuit topology. While the B-15N featured a 6SL7-based preamp mated to a 2x6L6 30W power amp, the B-25 used the nowadays more familiar 12AX7 tube in its preamp but rare 7027A power tubes for a rated output of 55W, the same power amp design used in the V2 and VT-40 guitar amps of the era. While the preamp tubes are different between the B-25 and B-15N, the preamp design is almost the exact same, including identical tone stacks and a very small modification to the "Ultra Lo" switch. For all intents and purposes, the B-25 is the B-15N's big brother. The vastly increased headroom makes the B-25 a bit less gritty than the B-15N, but both feature a very similar warm, punchy sound that is unmistakably Ampeg.

This particular B-25 was built sometime between 1968 and 1972, and we aren't any more certain about its age than that. Condition is good, with some scratches on the control plate, some small tears in the tolex, non-original power switches, and some pitting and rust on the metal parts. Amp is fully functional and sounds great. It's one of the loudest amps I've ever heard at 55W. Designed for a 16 ohm speaker load, the amp has a strange hard-wired 4-pin XLR speaker cable as well as a 1/4" Extension Speaker jack. Using just the extension speaker jack switches the amp to the 8 ohm transformer tap, while the 4-pin XLR (pinout unknown) would be for use with a 16 ohm cabinet, like the original Ampeg 2x15 cabinets of the era. To our knowledge, the amp is unmodified, with an original 2 prong power cable.

Fender Twin Reverb 1967

OverviewLogoControl PanelControl Panel 2Top markingsHandleSpeaker - EVM-12LSpeaker - EVM-12L #2Rear PanelRear Panel 2Rear Panel 3TubesFootswitchAs the old saying goes, "Never judge a book by its cover!" This Twin, despite the Silverface appearance, is actually a 1967 Blackface in disguise. The amp was sent to our amp tech, who performed a complete overhaul, and upon inspection found that the chassis is Blackface-style, and the amp was still built to Blackface spec, with the fixed bias circuit and original 85-watt power section. A previous owner had added a shoddily constructed master volume control, which has been removed. For whatever reason, at some point in the amp's life, the cosmetics were all changed to Silverface-style, with a Master Volume faceplate and silverface grill.

Despite all this, however, the amp is 100% Blackface spec and is 90% original. All original Blue Ajax signal caps, all original carbon comp resistors, original spring reverb, original power and output transformers.

And, to make a great amp even better, this is equipped with Electro-Voice EVM-12L speakers! A true behemoth, this Twin offers truly window-breaking volume. Footswitch included.

All filter capacitors are brand new F&T, power tubes are brand new Tung-Sol matched-quad 7581 (6L6GC), reverb driver tube is brand new 12AT7, the reverb driver transformer is brand new, and a handful of other signal caps and resistors have been replaced.

Dubleant

**Dubleant** er en impro-disciplin for 4 spillere eller flere.

To eller flere spillere starter en scene ud fra et bud fra publikum. Undervejs i scenen afbryder spillederen scenen, hvorefter alle de aktive spillere udskiftes med et nyt hold spillere. Det nye hold spillere indtager de samme roller, som dem de udskifter og skal nu fortsætte, hvor scenen blev afbrudt.

Som variation kan man lade spillederen afbryde scenen flere gange undervejs. På den måde skiftes de to hold til at fortsætte scenen.
Mesa Boogie Mark I Reissue 2011

Mark I FrontMark I BackThe Mesa Mark I, despite its legendary status among amplifiers, came from humble beginnings: in 1972, Randall Smith, Mesa's founder, took a friend's Fender Princeton and, without informing his friend, added an additional gain stage and crammed a full 60W Fender Bassman power amp into the little practice combo. The result of this practical joke eventually became the Mesa Boogie, the first "boutique" amplifier ever made. Thousands of these Boogies were hand-built in a garage in California and were quickly made famous by legendary artists like Keith Richards and Carlos Santana.

Upon the launch of the Mark II in 1978, the Boogie became known as the Mark I. This Mark I Reissue is a faithful reproduction of those original hand-built Boogies, complete with Dymo-labeled rear controls, beautiful woven bamboo grille, and hardwood cabinet. Still built individually by hand in California, the Mark I reissue sports 100W of all-tube power driving an Electro-Voice C90 "Black Shadow" C90 12" speaker. Channel 1 provides dual gain stages for singing, saturated leads, while Channel 2 offers classic Bassman-style rhythm tones. The amp can be reduced to 60W with the flip of a switch, and features a "Tweed" mode which lowers the overall voltage across the amp circuit, invoking the smooth "brown", "saggy" tones of the classic Fender Tweed amps of the 1950s. Rear-mounted Reverb and Presence controls expand the front-mounted gain and EQ controls, while an automatic-switching variable-level effects loop and a variable slave line output round out the back panel.

This particular Boogie is in very good shape. Electrically, it is flawless--all original tubes produce a spectacular tone with no hiss, buzz, or hum. Cosmetically, the amp has a few small blemishes--three or four small dents and scratches in the wood frame, but nothing major. Grill is in great shape, original slip cover is included.
Replay

**Replay** er en impro-disciplin for 2-4 spillere.

En-to spillere starter på scenen, mens en-to andre spillere sidder på sidelinjen og hører høj musik i et par hovedtelefoner. De må ikke kunne høre, hvad der tales om i den forestående scene, men kun se den. De aktive spillere skal så spille en kort, men meget fysisk scene ud fra et bud fra publikum. Når scenen er færdig, skal spillerne på sidelinjen tage hovedtelefonerne af og spille en scene, der indeholder de samme fysiske bevægelser, som den scene de lige har overværet. De må dog selv finde ud af, hvad scenen handler om, eftersom de hverken har kunne høre handlingen eller publikums bud.
Fender TLAC-100 1995

TLAC OverviewTLAC PickupTLAC BodyTLAC BackTLAC Neck JointTLAC Back OverviewTLAC HeadstockTLAC BridgeTLAC In CaseTLAC Case ClosedBuilt at the FujiGen plant in Japan, the TLAC-100 combines eclectic features to make a strikingly versatile, beautiful guitar. Originally built as a variation of the Japan-built HMT (Heavy Metal Tele), later specimens like this one have a more traditional Tele neck and headstock, Mahogany body with bound Spruce top, Rosewood fretboard and bridge, and Thinline-style semi-hollowbody construction. Its electronic complement includes a USA-made Lace Silver magnetic pickup in the neck position, a piezo pickup under the bridge saddle, volume, TBX tone, and neck/piezo balance controls with an active mixing circuit. Despite having been in production in Japan for nearly a decade, very few TLAC models made it to the States, and even fewer have survived, making this one of the rarest and most unique Telecasters you can find.

This particular TLAC was built in 1995 and is in very good condition. There is light surface pick scratches on the front, some light scratching on the back, and no dents, chips, scrapes, cracks, or other damage. Includes original hard shell case, also in very good condition. Dunlop strap locks installed with buttons included.

Fender Precision Bass 1978

OverviewBridgeHeadstockRight HornBackBody, LeftPickupsTunersNeckDuncan APB-1 Spec SheetDuncan APB-1 EQ Curves
This is a sweet 1978 Fender Precision Bass, with an absolutely beautiful original neck but aftermarket pickups and a refinished body. The neck is made from gorgueous Bird's Eye Maple, and is in excellent condition with minimal fret wear. The serial number is missing from the headstock, but the stamp on the heel of the neck is present and indicates a 1978 date and still has the original QA label. The pots date to 1978, and we could see on the inside of the pickguard where the original serial number sticker was but had been removed. The body has a finish that is textured black paint, it almost somewhat resembles crocodile skin in a way. The holes in the body for the thumbrest and bridge cover are in the correct places and the holes have been painted over, so we have reason to believe that this is in fact the original body that has been refinished.

The pickups are Seymour Duncan APB-1 "Active EQ" pickups, which were Duncan's first generation of active bass pickups from the early 1980s. These are the first model of APB-1 pickups, as these pickups have raised black lettering whereas later issued models have printed white lettering. Three small "DIP" rocker switches on the corner of the pickup offer variations in tone. The first switch canges the resonance of the pickup coil, dropping it from  22KHz to 6.4KHz, which leads to a much more focused sound with emphasized attack. Each succeessive switch further drops the resonant peak, which allows different combinations to emphasize different frequencies, letting you emphasize lows, mids, or highs, with some variation in between. Additional photos of the original APB-1 spec sheet have been uploaded which demonstrate the effects of the switches. The pickups maintain a very traditional P-bass tone and attack, with a strongly defined midrange, but the switching system allows for increased customization. In this professional opinion, the tone never strays too far from what a P-bass should sound like,  with a very classic tone even with the modified response of the switching system.

The guitar shows normal wear and tear. Some of the finish is worn off on the lower horn, and the pickguard is somewhat warped in a couple spots. Overall, the guitar plays absolutely amazingly, and sounds fantastic. The neck is in very good condition, and has beautiful wood grain, and minimal fret wear. It may not be a looker, but it's a fantastic player.
Dwight Belmont 1960

Built by National Valco, the Belmont was typically seen as a Supro model but a small number of models were ordered by Sonny Shields Music in St. Louis with Dwight branding. Identical in every way to the Supro models except for the headstock, the Belmont is a solid body bolt-on electric guitar with a single bridge-position humbucker. Controls include master volume, master tone, and a tone bypass switch. This particular example is believed to be a 1960 model. It is in excellent playing condition, with good action and great tone. Part of the original Dwight logo is broken off, but the guitar otherwise shows surprisingly little wear for its age. It includes a hard shell case, but we are not certain if the case is original, though the guitar does fit well and the case looks to be of similar age.
