craftsmen. The middle class is largish, && the aristocracy is strong
&& very dominant.

Heka-forgers && other skilled artisans work to create the wondrous
time-keeping devices. These "Eggs" range from the size ov a pullet's
egg to as large as one laid by a goose. Their internal gearing enables
moving hands to point to the day ov the year, hour ov the day, &&
minute ov the hour, which numbers are displayed on a dial. To reveal
the dial one needs but open the "Egg," whether at top, side, or bottom.
