Events[]
Aeronaut's Windlass[]
He found Captain Francis Grimm in the ventilation tunnels—he was sent by Lord Albion, the Spirearch, to fetch him. They were attacked by some creatures before they could go.[3] Grimm was badly injured, bitten, he passes out—Bayyard carried him to the home of Efferus Effrenus Ferus, an Etherealist who healed him with the help of his apprentice, Folly. [4]
Grimm is confident that Bayard will figure what Auroran Armada is up to—that they are dropping Auroran Marines into Spire Albion.[5] He managed to get close enough to the Auroran ships to confirm troop transport—which carry a full battalion, around 500 men.[6] He boards the Predator at Habble Landing Shipyards to visit Grimm. He informs him the Council declared war on Spire Aurora and the Fleet needs captains. He suggest that Grim go to Fleet and ask for a position. Bayard wants him for Flag Captain of the Valliant, his flagship. Grimm turns down Bayard, who keeps the offer open. He also informs Grimm that Fleet will be calling back Creedy—all the habbled aeronauts.[1]
