Hump Town

One of only two settlements in the Air Quadrant's bowl, built in nested semicircles against the wall and roofed by enormous fabric sails that furl up onto city hall and re-deploy the instant a sandstorm blows. A camel-run brothel economy (“gold, drugs, or pleasure” to enter) with a Desperado Club, training guilds, the no-crawlers City Hall, and Weird Shit Alley. The gnomes don't bomb it because of a hostage hidden in city hall. Carl shelters here at the inn called The Toe; Mordecai picks it as base.

Book 4 appearances

• Chapter 1 — Clay the gatekeeper scams Carl out of a blitz stick as the entry toll; the team beds at The Toe.
• Chapter 5 — The trio finds the quadrant’s other crawlers — Louis, Firas, and Langley’s archers — already drinking at the Toe, and Mordecai force-feeds a detox potion to the two drunkest.
• Chapter 6 — Carl infiltrates the town’s high-security city hall and finds its guards are disguised changelings.
