Azimuth 1 - Cloudgazer

Azimuth. A world of floating cities & bottomless sky. Trouble is brewing in the Nezzu Strait. Brazak West and Ganzabar, old adversaries from the last war, are at each other’s throats. Stalking the skies between them is a seven-hundred-year-old warship, vastly more advanced than anything flying today, from a forgotten country that was once the centre of the world. Its mission: to recover a stolen prize with the potential to unleash disaster. Kiy Tanthar is just another vagrant scraping a living in Brazak West. At least, he would be were it not for the unusual grappling hook device he carries, known as a ‘sling’—an ancient wonder from the technological zenith of the Gold Age, allowing its users to go where no-one else can, swinging between ships and buildings. Those that use them—from juvenile thieves to pirates and hired guns—typically have little in common. But all are known as cloudgazers.
