### 1. *Aeronaut's Windlass*

Rowl sees a cat and the two do a "diplomatic" stand-off for hours—to see who can ignoree the other the longest. (*Neen is named in next chapter.*)

After ending the stand-off, the Cat and Rowl make introductions. He is "Neen, kit of Naun of the Nine-Claws." Bridget requests to meet with Clan Chief Naun. Neen leaves to make the request to Naun saying: "Naun will see you. Or he won't". Two warrior Cats return to guide them to Naun. The Nine Claws clan (several hundred) stayed all together in an intersection chamber of the Ventilation Tunnels of Habble Landing for self-defense (unheard of for Cats). When Neen acts sarcastic with Naun, Rowl swats Neen on the nose and reminds him that he is to respect his sire.

Neen had an agreement with someone (Sark?) to allow Cavendish, the Auroran Marines and the Silkweavers to stay uncontested in the Ventilation Tunnels of Habble Landing.
 Rowl won a battle with Neen and as he spared Neen’s life, Naun and the Nine-Claws went into battle with him against the Silkweavers.

## Quotes

* Rowl fainted at Neen's nose with one paw and the other young cat flinched. Instantly every warrior cat in the place was on its feet, and Bridget felt almost certain that she could actually *hear* the mass of fur upon spines suddenly springing straight up. The air whispered with hundreds of low sounds of feline warning. ... Bridget found herself holding her breath. ... Rowl ignored the chorus of angry growls with a certain magnificent indifference to reality, looking at Neen in strict disapproval. ... "Respect our sire," Rowl said severely. "Or you will oblige him to teach you, here and now, when he obviously has greater concerns before him." — Rowl to Neen

### Description

All of the tribe is gathered in an intersection chamber, including all of their kits—unusual for cats. Normally, cats are more disperse guarding the tunnels continuously and hunting. Something has them afraid and they're gathering all in one location for safety.

### Tribal Habitat

Their current home is in a larger intersection chamber of the Ventilation Tunnels in Habble Landing—rather than various smaller tunnels that cats normally preferred. At one end of the chamber stood a series various pieces of wooden furniture lined up in an ascending order—footstool, wooden chair, high barstool, and a large table. The table serves as a Dias for Clan Chief Naun.

Neen leaves to make the request to Naun saying: "Naun will see you. Or he won't". Two warrior ATMs return to guide them to Naun. The **Nine Claws clan** (several hundred) stayed all together—even their kits—in a large intersection chamber of the Ventilation Tunnels of Habble Landing for self-defense (unheard of for Cats).

“They are afraid,” Folly breathed, barely audible, her lips hardly moving at all. “They are being watched”.
Naun gives Rowl welcome but he refuses to hear out Bridget and Folly because they are humans and wants nothing to do with humans. He orders them to leave now and to not make contact with his **clan**. Folly realizes that the real reason is that Naun and his tribe are being watched and they are afraid. He orders them shown to the "ropes".

## Events

### *Aeronaut's Windlass*

He found Captain Francis Grimm in the ventilation tunnels—he was sent by Lord Albion, the Spirearch, to fetch him. They were attacked by some creatures before they could go. Grimm was badly injured, bitten, he passes out—Bayyard carried him to the home of Efferus Effrenus Ferus, an Etherealist who healed him with the help of his apprentice, Folly.

Grimm is confident that Bayard will figure what Auroran Armada is up to—that they are dropping Auroran Marines into Spire Albion. He managed to get close enough to the Auroran ships to confirm troop transport—which carry a full battalion, around 500 men. He boards the Predator at Habble Landing Shipyards to visit Grimm. He informs him the Council declared war on Spire Aurora and the Fleet needs captains. He suggest that Grim go to Fleet and ask for a position. Bayard wants him for Flag Captain of the Valliant, his flagship. Grimm turns down Bayard, who keeps the offer open. He also informs Grimm that Fleet will be calling back Creedy—all the habbled aeronauts.

* "What is that at the very top of your forward mast?" ... "Apparently, it's a Cat." — Bayard and Grimm

Elsewhere

**Elsewhere** — a sort of mental plane.

Incomplete...

## About

**Elsewhere** is a strange place—a place that Folly's mind drifts to at a time of great stress and pain when she is being tortured by Sycorax Cavendish

It's unclear whether Folly is actually transported to the Surface in a kind of out-of-body way or she is experiencing a mental assimilation of the Surface.

### Description

"For a moment she floated in an empty void. And then she became conscious of solid ground beneath her feet. She looked down at it curiously and found it strange. She knelt to examine it more closely. The ground was not Spirestone. It was loose earth pale and granular. She pinched a bit up inher fingers and examined it. The earth was heavily mixed with sand. ... Earth. ... Sand. ... Was she standing on the surface?"

Commodore Hamilton Rook

**Commodore Hamilton Rook**, aka Rook, is a Commodore in the Fleet for Spire Albion.

## About

His flagship is the *AFS Glorious*.

Hamilton Rook rakes in hundreds of thousands of crowns for capturing enemy Airships. Some believe he buys councilors with his money.

Francis Grimm, Captain of the *AMS Predator*, would disable Auroran airships and leave them to Rook, who would collect the bounty, while Grimm would get a small bonus for him and his men for disabling them.

### Uniform

* A "proper" deep blue accented with an "unseemly" amount of golden braid and filigree.
* Three bands around the ends of his sleeves for the rank of Commodore
* His uniform was not weather worn because he hid from the elements.

### Description

A tall, regal-looking man with a nose like a sunhawk's beak. His black hair is untouched by silver, probably an affectation. His hands are weathered and cracked.

### Character/ Personally

* Refined, educated, and an utter ass
* He would use most any means to force someone to do what he wants, throwing his aristocratic weight around.

## Events

### 1. *Aeronaut's Windlass*

Grimm damages enemy Airships and leave s them for Rook to capture for which he is the one to collect the bounty.

In the Ventilation Tunnels leading to the Spirearch Manor, he intercepted Grimm to pressure him into selling him the *Predator* to scrap it for the Core Crystal inside it. Rook tries to force Grimm into relinquishing the AMS Predator to acquire its core crystal. First with an offer of a ridiculously low sum of money for the ship's worth—then by increasing it. Followed by threats and reports of bad handling of his ship and of court action. Backed up by accusations of piracy from other Spires—actions Grimm took on behalf of Rook and the Fleet—and a warning that Fleet would side against Grimm as a disgraced outcast. That would leave his crew jobless and him homeless. Grimm vehemently refuses with a slap and a threat of a duel to the death.

Core Crystals

**Core Crystals**, aka **Power Core**, aka **Power Core Crstals** — power source

## About

Core Crystals are priceless power sources and the provide the power and electricity to power all the other systems on an airship. They need to be of a certain size and density to serve as an airship's power core. They had to grown over the course of decades and centuries.

All current crystal production is under commission to the Fleet. That means that only a set number of core crystals were available to private owners and would not part with them for any price. In recent centuries, the High Houses have been slowly acquiring them.

### How work

Designed to draw in etheric energy and output in the form of electricty. Power Core crystals are grown with the "complex pathways needed to route Etheric energy into a rising surplus, converting it into bottled lightning.

If an airship's core crystal is struck by enemy fire it will explode with enough force to annihilate the ship carrying it as well as anything near it.

### Age and Power

They grow more capable of efficiently channeling Etheric energy with age. A power Crystal is not considered to be in its prime until it's been used for at least a century to make it in better condition. A Crystal the age of the one on the Predator (a few thousand years) would be able to produce more electricity from less Etheric energy. What that means is that it could sail more places, farther and farther from the main Etheric currents—and do it more swiftly.

### Makers

* **Lancaster Vattery**: other Spires make them, them but none match the power or quality that are produced by House Lancaster.

### Power Core on the Predator

It is a first generation power core Crystal—a few thousand years old from before they started developing facets. It didn't have the usual jewel-faceted shape. It was more natural-looking like the "shaft of a glowing emerald quartz".

Vattery

**Vattery** — a type of production company.

## About

A vattery is a general term for production factories throughout the Spires. Since the inhabitants of the Spires never come into contact with the ground, they must find alternative methods of getting items that would commonly be gotten there.

### Types of Production

* Crystals
* Meat vattery
* Food Stuffs

### Known Vatteries

* Lancaster Vattery
* Tagwynn Vattery

### Food

Since it is impossible to keep livestock in the Habbles, meat is grown in the vatteries. One such vattery is the Tagwynn Vattery, where Bridget Tagwynn spent her childhood.

Other foodstuffs, such as fruits and vegetables, are grown in "water garden" vatteries with "nutrient-bearing vatsand".

### Crystals

Even more important, the Lancaster Vattery—the vattery of House Lancaster—is used to produce powerful crystals. They have a monopoly on the crystals that power the Albion Airships, and so their vattery is extremely valuable. They also make the best crystals of any Spire.

Wind-sails

**Wind-sails**, aka **Sails**

## About

**Wind-sails** are the traditional canvas sails used before Steam Engines—which are normally used as the secondary propulsion system.  Few Airships utilized Wind-sails anymore. Crystal technology and Etheric Engineering are what is currently used in propelling ships.

## Characteristics

Most airships that favored sails were those from Fleets of poor Spires. Or—by scoundrels like pirates, smugglers and so on—those who were willing to to "dare the dangers of the mists rather than sail in open skies".

Guilds

**Guilds of Habble Landing** — gangs organized like unions.

## About

Some **Guilds** are legitimate organizations like businesses or unions—like the Vatterists' Guild in Habble Morning. Others are crews or gangs whose activities are less than legal.  Most of the Guilds in Habble Landing are involved in some kind of activity bordering on illegal. And, they are all in competition with each other.

### Character: Landing Guilds

The crews—gangs—that have organized themselves into guilds, never pick on residents of Landing. They'd be too easily identified to the authorities. Their leaders would not allow it.

Many of the gangs of Habble Landing have organized themselves into Guilds with leaders because it's easy and easily stopped by authorities. It's all carefully controlled and precise. Organized robbery. They have a certain code of conduct that they adhere to. They are hard to find and restricted to the law. They are extremely powerful .

**Chief Maul** is chief of the Silent Paws tribe of Cats.

## About

Maul is chief of the House of the Silent Paws based in Habble Morning. His kit is Rowl, who is like a prince to the tribe.

The Chief apparently has the ear of "Longthinker", the Cat name for Lord Albion, the Spirearch of Spire Albion by the information that the chief gathers through his Whiskers—spies and hunters for the chief.

### Clan Chief

Like all tribal chiefs, Maul held his position through a dense, complicated network of one-on one connections, through building a general concensus, and the use of personal pressure and face when necessary.

### Description

A very large grey male cat, muscular, with many scars, smooth fur and notched ears.

### Spirearch's Recognition

The Spirearch, Lord Albion, has decided that it is time to recognize his tribe as official citizens of Habble Morning.

The Spirearch had produced an affidavit notoroized by Judge Helena Solomon—and read at the Duel between Bridget and Reginald Astor—that Rowl and House of the Silent Paws had pledged their support to the Spirearch and were citizens in good standing of Habble Morning. It was a legal precedent and important moment in Spire Albion history.

Maul makes an appearance in Franklin Tagwynn's study with Rowl taking his rightful position behind him and slightly to his side.  Maul sends a message to Rowl through Mirl, one of his Whiskers—"He says you are to do your duty or he'll notch your ears." He also says the Longthinker confirmed the reports of the Silent Paws scouts that New Creatures are in the Ventilation Tunnels. And, that Cats have gone missing from various other tribes, such as the Shadow Tails and the Quick Claws and about half a dozen tribes in other Habbles.

**Spirearch** - the position of monarch of Spire Albion. Held by Lord Albion.

Stub

## Current Spirearch

His Majesty Addison Orson Magnus Jeremiah Albion. First Citizen of Albion--aka Addison or "Addy" for short, or Lord Albion.

## About

“The monarchy was a necessary evil at one time, Miss Lancaster. Now I’m largely obsolete, and quite content to have it that way. Your father and the Council manage the affairs of the Spire by consensus, and all the habbles are represented in a fashion that at times borders upon being fair. The only armed forces we need within the Spire are the Guard—-and they generally coordinate humanitarian efforts. I don’t rule, Miss Lancaster; nor did my father or grandfather. I just try to help my people when they need it.” ~ Addison to Gwen Lancaster

### Previous Spirearchs

* Gregor the Strong — United the Habble and formed the Council two hundred years ago.

## Spirearch's Recognition of Cats

The Spirearch had an affidavit produced and notoroized by Judge Helena Solomon—and read by Esterbrook at the Duel between Bridget and Reginald Astor—that: Rowl and House of the Silent Paws had pledged their support to the **Spirearch** and were citizens in good standing of Habble Morning. It was a legal precedent and important moment in Spire Albion history.

Addison called Gwen, Bridget, Rowl, and Benedict to his office, Grimm was already there. Ferus an Folly joined them. He gives them all a mission—each having their own task, but no one but Ferus knows the objective. That's so no one can divulge any secrets if captured. Benedict is to protect Ferus, Gwen is the "smoother"—smoothing the way through obstacles to Ferus' mission. Bridget and Rowl will serve as his liaisons to the local Cats. Grimm and his crew are their transport and backup.

### 1. **Aeronaut's Windlass**

He laid a trap for the Predator, and nearly destroyed it after the Predator had attacked another Auroran airship. Captain Francis Grimm out maneuvered him and escaped. His ship was too heavy and the chase too undignified. He and his ship appear right after the Predator had captured the Mistshark—then gives chase. Predator is leading him toward the Albion Fleet, hopefully to take it down. It's important that Albion takes down such a "storied" ship as the Itasca in the opening of the war and after Albion took such a major hits and the loss of the Habble Landing Shipyards. AFS Glorious, led by Commodore Hamilton Rook, takes on Itasca, then abandons the fight and leaves Grimm to die. Then appear: AMS Valliant, AFS Victorious and AFS Thunderous—they engage the Itasca. Thunderous falls first. Then Victorous. Valiant, captained by Alexander Bayard, teams with Predator. While engaging Valiant, Predator managed a direct into a gaping hole into the ship sending explosions inside it. It ends in Castillo surrendering to Francis Grimm by holding up his sword.

Grimm pleads for him and his crew to the Spirearch to not be sent to the base of the Spire—it's a place of horror no slow death. Castillo surrendered to Grimm and he feels that he owes him that. They did help in the rescue of the crews of Victorious and Thunderous. Grimm recommended special commendation to **Captain Castillo** and his men for their effort.

## Quotes

* "Her captain was sent out to bring *Predator* down last month, to make a statement. He missed us. A captain put in command of a ship like *Itasca* will be professional, brilliant, ambitious, hungry, miss. He won't want to go home without feathering his cap with Predator's wreckage." — Grimm to Gwen"Professional, brilliant, ambitious, hungry"

Admiral Tagwynn

The great-great-grandfather of Bridget Tagwynn, and a still-legendary admiral from Spire Albion.

## History

Not much is actually known about Admiral Tagwynn, except that he played a vital role in Spire Albion's history, and was a master tactician.

His family name is still famous, but their fortunes gradually declined over the generations after his death.
Airships

The only method of traveling outside of, or between, the Spires. These ships use the Etheric energy to glide through the skies.

## Build

Airships utilize a combination of etheric crystals, ethersilk and secondary propulsion systems to stay aloft and travel the skys of the Cinder Spires world.

Each ship is powered by a Core Crystal that produces electricity from etheric currents that exist in the atmosphere. These in turn, power the main lift crystal(s) and various smaller Trim Cyrstals that keep the ship in the air and allow it to ascend.

The Core Crystal also provides power to the ship's Ethersilk sail which, when electrified, is capable of catching the etheric currents and provides an airship it's primary source of motive power.

Newer airships tend toward the use of steam powered turbines as a secondary propulsion system to supplement their speed or to counter the loss of all or a portion of their etheric sail.

Older airships like the AMS Predator have wind-sails. These are more limited, depending on wind direction and speed to, but have the advantage of being both silent and not as bulky as steam engines.

## Life on Airships

Life on the airships seems to be exciting but dangerous, with the constant threat of enemy ships from other Spires. The airships are run by a captain and his executive officer (or XO).

Living on an airship is very different from the lives of those who have spent their whole lives in the Spires. Those who spend many years on airships end up very tanned due to exposure to solar radiation, despite the thick cloud cover. People unused to the experience may become badly disoriented due to exposure to the sky and sunlight.

## Spire Symbols and Colors

* Spire Albion: deep blue coat with gold trim;
* Spire Aurora:
* Spire Olympia: green coat with gold garb and a laurel wreath upon their breast or pendants or rings.
* Spire Nephesis: multiple layers, patterns and colors.
* Spire Atlanta: (or Atlantis?)
* Spire Piker: wear spiral scar patterns on their faces; keep bees, export honey;
* Spire Dalosia: the Mistshark was flying the Dalosian flag.
* Spire Ethosia:

## Arms and Defense

Airships are typically both armored and armed:

* A shroud dissipates weapons fire from other ships, but it may be a massive strain on the ship's systems.
* Airship Armor, which is a physical protection on the hull.
* Etheric cannon, which have weapons crystals that are activated to blast energy at other ships.

## Notable airships

* AMS Predator
* Mistshark
* Itasca - Aroran Battlecruiser
* Ciervo - Aroran Destroyer that attacked Habble Morning
* AFS Perilous — Grimm's last ship in the Fleet
* AFS Glorious - Albion Battlecruiser, Rook's flagship
* AFS Valiant - heavy cruiser, Bayard's flagship
