Already the black sheep of the family for embracing engineering rather than art, Nita resolves to leave the safety of her home and do whatever it takes to find a cure. Nita's mother has lost her livelihood and perhaps soon her life to a terrible disease. Amanita Graus, though, is hoping that they do. Few believe the technologically advanced but socially barbarous outsiders have anything to offer.

They isolated themselves from the madness of the world, choosing instead to focus on the pursuits of art and creativity. To spare themselves the same fate, the Calderans erected a battery of guns to fend off the airships of the mainland. Life has since been a struggle, with only the most ruthless and crafty able to survive. A terrible calamity in the past had blanketed much of the world with a toxic 'fug.' Those who survived were forced to take to the mountains and the skies in wondrous airships. The islands of Caldera are a shining jewel in a rather bleak world.
