Gearhaven

Workers chained to the Stormwright's machines: brick and slate under copper roofs, a humming coil mast and turning cog works, rain on wet cobbles, white-blue street lamps; Tinker Jessop works on the machine.

The town torch

Every town has a torch on its plaza. Light it with the staff and it becomes Wick's checkpoint: a fall ends here, resting at the lit torch heals, and a lit torch is also a stop for lantern travel. Resting heals Wick, but it wakes the land's creatures again.

People

• Wella the innkeeper: Keeps the leaky inn; tells guests not to lean on the walls.
• Moss the fishmonger: Sells fish salted, smoked and struck by lightning.
• Old Corran: An old sea hand who remembers the coast before the machines.
• Tinker Jessop: Gearhaven, Stormcoast (lightning). Sabotages the Stormwright's machines from inside.
