Ulbus was a terrible father, and had sent his son to be a "sub-acolyte" in the college of cloud, in the floating city of Sanctaphrax, the Edge's seat of learning.

Almost instantly, a new Sanctaphrax rock began to grow in the Stone Gardens, and Cowlquape became the Most High Academe of New Sanctaphrax.
In the first book of the series (chronologically), The Curse of the Gloamglozer, Linius is the Most High Academe of Sanctaphrax and father of one of the stories protagonists, Maris and a friend of the sky pirate Wind Jackal.
The crisis got worse until Twig, Quint’s son, returned from a stormchasing voyage with more Stormphrax.
In the next book, The Curse of the Gloamglozer, Wind Jackal leaves Quint on the floating city of Sanctaphrax, to assist his old friend Linius Pallitax.
