Another thread I saw here reminded me of another question that was asked at the CS Q&A. The first question was if the Almoghty in CS is the same Almighty as the DF. Jim initially said yes, but quickly changed it to a no, saying something like "That would make people mad."

Don't want to make false assumption on my memories. I hope we get video of it.

Oh I agree but we can't forget

Everyone is the hero of their own story.

I just got back from DragonCon. I stopped and spent time with my mom before heading back to work. I did manage to ask several of our questions, but couldn't get them all in. Sorry, if I snubbed your questions. I already felt a little rude asking four. Either way, I really hope someone got video and gets it posted.

Highlights

I never asked but it seemed to me that the original cast of characters would remain central to the plot of the next book.

Yes there are Female Warriorborn, Warriorborn makeup ~2% of the avg population, More on warriorborn Below.

The avg lifespan of a Cat in the Cinder Spires in 60-70 years. It is comparable to humans in the CS.
There are a few more type of crystals but we have seen the most common. Trim crystals are simply smaller Lift crystals. I imagine the "rare" ones are cool and plot relevant. 

It is possible to reverse the polarity of a ship and its webbing, so to speak, and have the ether push instead of pull the webbing when powered but would essentially be rewiring the entire ship. Generally it is simply easier to ascend or descend a few hundred feet into a different etheric current.

The 3 seashells moment would likely involve something similar to a sponge or leather scrappings. Rather Roman-esque.

The spires are not identical. In fact, the Pikers actually live on a mountain and are on constant guard against "things" that come up the mountain.

Many of the warriorborn, male and female, live at the base of the spire as farmers and woodcutters. There are regular people but they are each extremely dangerous regular people. There is apparently a plant similar to kudzu as well.

Jim got a specialist to assist with the venting calculations and the amount of vent space is rather large but actually needed for a structure the size of a spire.

The Biggest reveal for me was

Here's what I have so far.

It needs some details and I plan on adding "ethersilk" connecting the 3 silver nodes to the crystal. It is motion reactive and wired up.

Thank you to everyone on this thread for keeping me inspired.

It certainly could. Changing the lift crystal, the trim crystals and at least one gun did not seem to affect Grimm's relationship with Preddy. Kinda like getting new hardware but using the original CPU. But that's just my opinion

I assume that telekinetic movement of crystals is basic for etherealists.
