[It translates roughly into the "storm lover", something you might pick up on if you're exposed to lower cant. And that's a fairly accurate description of this Gottala: the Xes Ther is smaller and swifter than your average city-ship, keeping never more than 374 individuals aboard. Its housing is clean but minimalistic, its gardens have no decorative value: only essential nutrients are grown. There is a heavier reliance on fishing upon this Gottala, and no sight of field-fed livestock that is common on others. No beef, no poultry, no pork.

Just fish.

And sprawls of laboratories.

Laboratories that connect like honeycombs: they octagon sprawl into each other, forming larger segments of the same structure. And in these labs? Storms are made. Or, more precisely: the effects of weather patterns are mimicked and induced. Xes Ther is a craftsman city-ship, and all of its members contribute to creating, controlling and selling weather-born energy.

[Bight had been working through the night, having been attempting to bring his magic back under control, relearning methods to do just that now that he had wrapped his mind around the concept, requiring a different way of thinking of his magic. He had just managed to get a partial translation of the text he had copied two days before. Before he could fully translate it the alarm had gone out.

Stuffing the note into his pocket he had made his way rapidly to the edge of the Vessel, upon the sight of the other vessel under attack. Slipping into the water and out of sight he dove deeper to obscure the bright light that soon shone from his form, from human to one hundred and fourty feet of dragon he shifted rapidly.

With a roar he swept from the ocean at the edge of the vessel from the side of the serpents attacks, landing amongst them, crushing a number beneath his claws before bringing his tail around with careful aim to sweep a dozen of the attackers off the ship.

Get to safety, I will deal with these!

[He called to any nearby natives, before snatching up one of the serpents that had been about to attack one of the natives.]
