Union
The Cinder King's own city — the largest on this world, sitting at the equatorial corridor with the best resources. Rebeke names it for Nomad when she explains who controls what; it was the hovercity he was dragged into after his capture. STD:TSM:Ch 12
Known facts
- fled-its-kingUnion's command crew unlock the city against the Cinder King's standing lockdown and steer the entire hovercity away from him in the mud, leaving him behind for the advancing sun. The decision is unprompted by force — Rebeke persuades, does not coerce — and visibly stuns the officers who allowed it; it is the first sustained act of civil disobedience the city has managed in living memory.STD:TSM:Ch 51
