Moved to Bas-Lag, where it is more appropriate. New Crobuzon should describe the city itself. Notcarlos 18:27, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "confluent" is the wrong word

In the climate section, "confluent" is an adjective, not a verb. "Flow together" would be the literal meaning of the Latin term, but that would prevent linking to "confluent."

[edit] "The Ribs" errata

Will check tonight, but I believe "The Ribs" is a feature of Bonetown.

The Ribs have been explored archaeologically, but nothing was found outside of the spine (no head no hips etc.) {I always liked the subtle implication there that maybe something even bigger killed it.}

Excavation has not ended in disaster. Developing real-estate within the Ribs has discontinued due to "tools breaking" and "one two many accidents."

[edit] The Quillers

Not 100% sure (havent got the book in front of me) but arn't the New Quillers in IC actually a militant wing of the Three Quills (similar to the SA or the 'Red Front Fighters' League' in Weimar Germany) rather than "a splinter group"?
