I've decided I'd like to make the Invisible Fortress capable of flight. It's been alluded to a couple of times but never said outright. I want it to be a powerful mobile weapon but not a match for the Five Metal Shrike.
I'm thinking retractable essence cannons, some powered armor in storage (enough suits for all the original solars), and controls in a room in the underground area (which will be in Elsewhere instead of actually underground, but that won't be apparent until they're flying and realize they didn't bring the ground with them.
I'm also thinking that the hearthstone hide the fortress from the Sidereals. The mansion itself won't show up on the Loom, although it's effects still could. So floating over the ocean somewhere would be relatively safe, but a plan to storm the Blessed Isle would show a snarl with an unknown cause.
Any other ideas, concerns, etc.?
