Re: Exodus

Amazing photo, Namorvia, thanks for that! Now imagine the ice and snow melted into an interior sea, punctuated by mountains...

The urchins were indeed naked in Exodus but found clothing in the museum hoard then in the caves among the bones and skulls. The lumens in Exodus are a bit like the AOL girl (the New World has developed many synthetic materials including clothing and building materials) Feel free to start a Q&A thread, though your own ideas are interesting!

Sean Connery or Billy Connelly for Tain - now there's a thought. Don't know if I've ever said but Tain is actually inspired (craggy chin and all) by the late Orkney writer George Mackay Brown. Tain is my fictional tribute to him. There's a quote of GMB in Zenith.

I thought of the sky citizens as sounding quite neutral & 'transatlantic'. They travel between sky cities so there would be a motley mix of languages and accents (think of Star Trek!) Maybe quite a lot of Euan Macgregor transatlantic Scots accents in New Mungo...? If you are uprooted from the land probably accent flattens out.
