Floyd ] Traversing the Moorsea Floyd \| > Floyd \| > GLOSSARY Floyd \| Floyd \| CROSS: The places where two tracks meet, or cross. Floyd \| Floyd \| DEADLYNDS: An area of the moorsea devoid of life. Not even the Floyd \| heath grows there. It's rumoured the rebellion against the Empire is Floyd \| hiding their base of operations in the deadlynds. Floyd \| Floyd \| HOTLINE: Any track containing a HOTWIRE, or the wire that provides Floyd \| the energy for locomotion (it's not yet understood how this works). Floyd \| The hotwire is named for how it burns hot to the touch. The other type Floyd \| of track is a DOCKING TRACK, in which the hotwire has been snipped to Floyd \| allow the trolley to come to a stop. Floyd \| Floyd \| IRONS: Another name for the rails. The phrase PRESSING HER HARD Floyd \| AGAINST THE IRONS is an expression meaning to ride the trolley at a Floyd \| maximum speed. Those who maintain the tracks are called Floyd \| IRONSWORKERS. Floyd \| Floyd \| JOLLY ROGER: A symbol used by pirates for mysterious ends. It's Floyd \| usually depicted as a skull over a pair of crossed bones. Floyd \| Floyd \| MOORSEA: A great expanse of moors. It's thought to stretch Floyd \| thousands upon thousands of miles, though none have explored beyond Floyd \| the deadlynds. Only a complicated network of tracks left by an unknown Floyd \| civilization enables travel, as the moors are covered by a toxic plant Floyd \| called the HEATH. Floyd \| Floyd \| RAILOR: A member of a trolley's crew. Floyd \| Floyd \| SPLIT: A type of cross where it's possible to change tracks. To Floyd \| JUMP THE SPLIT means to change tracks, while to RUN THE SPLIT means to Floyd \| continue without changing. Floyd \| Floyd \| SWITCH: A device that allows the trolley to change tracks at a Floyd \| split. The expression FLY THE SWITCH means to push the switch while Floyd \| the trolley is still in motion, typically with the aid of a long pole. Floyd \| This technique will not work if the trolley is travelling at too fast Floyd \| a speed. Floyd \| Floyd \| TAFF: The railing along the front of the trolley, over the bow. Floyd \| Many trolleys carry a harpoon cannon, which is usually secured to the Floyd \| taff. Floyd \| Floyd \| TIES: Planks of wood that lie perpendicular to the rails and Floyd \| secure them in place. Because of their uniform spacing, the term has Floyd \| become a standard unit of distance. The term can also be used to Floyd \| measure speed when counting the number of ties the trolley passes per Floyd \| second. The phrase COUNTING TIES refers to the fact that when Floyd \| travelling slow enough, one can easily count the ties appearing behind Floyd \| the trolley. Floyd \| Floyd \| TRACKWARD: The direction the trolley is moving. Its opposite is Floyd \| BACKWARD. Floyd \| Floyd \| TROLLEY: A single mechanical carriage used to travel the rails. Floyd \| Long ago, people rode multiple carriages joined together called Floyd \| trains, but they proved unwieldy in battle, difficult to defend Floyd \| against pirates, and subject to frequent wrecks due to the large Floyd \| number of crosses. Trolleys are easily repaired or replaced, and only Floyd \| require crews of two to ten railors. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Busta says, "glossary is a text dump - word of warning"

Floyd \| Floyd \| Now that you think about the glass, though: when you took the job, you Floyd \| were given lodgings in the house, with veins of yellow glass in Floyd \| the walls.
