No, I haven't. He just appeared in my fevered imagination when I tried
to think of what the Mostali actually _do_ to maintain and repair the
Machine.
(I'm a Mostali-lover. Yes, it's awful, issnit?)
And one inspiration was the contributor to this list - his name I have
unfortuneately forgotten - who mentioned a dwarven pirate crew which
had appeared in _his_ campaign, as I understand as PC's. They sounded
like a lot of fun, and I'm sure that there are dwarven pirates. (Not
that they would define what they do as 'piracy', but others might.)
David Dunham:
I believe the Dwarf Floating Castle is made of concrete (not just
clad). My
college's Civil Engineering department participated in an annual
Concrete
Canoe Race; these were made of concrete (with metal, like the mostali
ship). Steel isn't particularly buoyant, but modern ships float just
fine.
I believe the same, actually; I was just trying to make a (lame?) joke on the word 'ironclad'.
