Episode 96
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026
The Rum Rollers have officially left the solid ground of the lower realms behind, mooring Adüné at the docking gantry of Airshiff 86, a city-ship that defies both gravity and traditional economics. In this episode, the crew navigates the high-pressure social atmosphere of the Star Talker Federation Union (STFU) and discovers that in the sky, your worth isn’t measured by the gold in your purse, but by the weight of the gifts you give away.The Discovery of the Red HatsAs the crew moves from the industrial "Under-Hull" to the shimmering "Market Dome," they learn the truth about gnomish status. They encounter the two distinct classes of the Federation:The Crimson-Capped (The Gift-Givers): These "Red Hats" are the social elite, gnomes who have attained high status by gifting their inventions, labor, and even their food to the collective. To a Red Hat, a hoarding mind is a failing engine.The Bare-Brows: The unproven or the "indebted," those who have yet to contribute a significant "Great Work" to the city’s harmony.The Theology of ProbabilityThe crew is granted an audience with High Brewmaster Fizz, who reveals the true purpose of Airshiff 86’s mission toward the god-tree, Liber-Tree. In a stunning revelation of divine physics, the crew learns that the gnomes do not pray—they calculate.The Federation seeks the patronage of a god to obtain Star-Sap, the only fuel potent enough to keep their massive cities aloft. In exchange, the gnomes offer the only thing a god cannot manifest: Certainty. Airshiff 86 is a massive, flying Probability Machine. By living lives of perfect mechanical and social harmony, the gnomes process the infinite "chaos" of the universe into "ordered outcomes," acting as a biological CPU that helps their god-patron navigate the complexities of existence.The Celestial BrewTo toast this new alliance, the crew is introduced to the "Brew" itself—not just a drink, but a liquid miracle. From the Cloud-Puff Pastries that must be tethered to the table to the Ales of Accord that grant drinkers a glimpse of the world’s ley lines, the Rum Rollers realize that on Airshiff 86, every meal is a ritual and every sip is a contract.Will the Rum Rollers find their place in this gift-based technocracy, or will their "heavy-world" habits drag the city into a catastrophic descent?
