Where did the people come from? How did the city begin? And why is it, that nobody seems to know the answers to these apparently simple questions about their own history? Questions that the makeshift Councils of the People must try and answer to understand both their past, and what will be their possible future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/ronaldcosgood.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/FlotsamCity_Book1_256.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ronaldcosgood.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/FlotsamCity_Book1_256.png 256w, https:\/\/ronaldcosgood.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/FlotsamCity_Book1_256-195x300.png 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Available Now<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-x-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\">Nikl Cardagido is a Jack.
