Wonderful. Strong tones of John Carter here, mixed with Dune mysticism. Assuming Crawlers are semi-autonomous botships?
Very interesting how Sycieb and presumably other crawler-servants venerate their machines, to point of explicitly declining claim of ownership/captaincy of their machines.
Presuming "corpse city" refers to static settlements, assumed built out of a destroyed Crawler?
Regardless, hope for more.
Oh dear. Was the Draves gang ambushing Ves'sere an attack of opportunity, or did Inawsam lead them right to him? If so, lost a fair amount of sympathy for her. And just when Ves'sere was about to take her on as an apprentice too.
Nice to see the cultural divide between the crawlerfolk and the city dwellers. Sycieb's ritualisms clashing with the heathen berthing master.
Are crawlerfolk especially different from human baseline? Sycieb manhandling the dockmaster gives off the impression of being somewhat superhuman, or physically enhanced.
So, Middle Ages-esque generational nutrition deficit resulting in notable physique differences? As in nobility and chivalry were genuinely larger than the peasanthood? Fun.she was seen multiple times heading through their territories, so poor ina was gonna get followed at some point. the biggest difference between crawlerfold and city folk is nutrition, and not being in tight and dark confines their entire lives. spire dwellers would be much larger then most city folk too. the cityfolk are just kinda runty, and scy is a big boy. i dont like doing self descriptions so we will get a proper description of scy when ina sees him, but crawler folk, especially from somehwere as vaunted as Lord Morossa, are generally gonna be near "peak" physicality. although i did make sure to note that the marine soldiers aboard the crawlers would be even bigger and stronger
