Other Jimness > Cinder Spires Spoilers

What does the "Aeronaut's Windlass" refer to?

(1/5) > >>

aikidoka:
So, does the title refer to the Predator?  Even though Grimm was incensed when people tried to imply (or outright state in Rook's case) that it was only fit for the work of a windlass?

Dina:
I think so. Remember he told the spirearch than the Predator was not a windlass and the spirearch convinced him to do it once in exchange of the cristals. So this time, the Predator acted as a windlass.

Shodan:
A windlass can only go up and down...(Its just like a winch).  it was an insult to call predator that, but at the time since her crystals were broken, she could only do that so it was kinda true.  The name of the book makes sense, its kinda like using the word thief in the title to refer to a hero that starts out ragged and roguish.

Quantus:
Any idea's where "Cinder Spires" comes from?  Spires makes sense, but the only mention of "cinder" is that they call it Cinderstone in the first few chapters, but Spirestone after Ch 6.

Perhaps cinder is a reference to some kind of a post-apocalyptic scenario, the cinders remaining after some big cataclysmic fire.
