'''The Stone Meridian''', also known as '''The Shelter Adamantine''', '''The Moving City''', and '''The Sky-Pearl''', is an Hour born in the moment of greatest peril, at the apex of the Collision. It was molded into the shape most desired by the thousands upon thousands of wounded hearts. And as they begged, it shall remain, no matter what.
==Description==
===History===
===Appearance===
The Sky-Pearl is a city of impossible geometry and dwarfing, awe-inspiring architecture. In its bounds, the horizon is fuzzy, and the countless waterways pierce the landscape like a web. Outside, one can’t look at it directly, but if it’s there, it will always be seen in the corner of one’s vision. It resides in the Mansus, but sometimes it bleeds into the Wake, and, occasionally, it can be seen drifting into Nowhere.
===Principles===
==Worship==
===Cult===
This Hour is worshipped as much as you would expect someone to worship a street, a road, or a house. There are, perhaps, individuals who do, but the reasoning is vague at best. Maybe there is something to gain out of thisafter all?
The Shelter Adamantine itself, however, is home to many Names, Mansus-spirits, Nowhere-things, Long, Know, and just regular mortals. All of them are loyal to no-one but the City and its Name-emanations.
==Servants==
===Names===
The Stone Meridian is connected to its Names on a deeper level than most other Hours. Without them, its face is blank: they are its expressions.
