One must always have options, especially when one's conveyance is an antiquated dirigible with a tendency for unscheduled atmospheric descents.
Before the Chronomancer refined his iridescent lenses for hyperspace travel, and even before his initial brass spectacles that simply bent reality, there was a pragmatic necessity for reliable vision in the upper strata. These copper-plated goggles were his earliest (and, I might add, most stylish) foray into high-altitude optics.
He designed them specifically for an infamous Airship Pirate named Captain Elias Thorne—a rather charming rogue who possessed an unmatched talent for navigating treacherous thermals and an even greater talent for escaping the Royal Aether Guard. The Captain swore by the radiant copper finish, claiming it helped him blend into the sunrise during a daring aerial raid over the Himalayas. Nonsense, of course. It simply looked magnificent against his burnished leather flight jacket.
The robust spiked frames were, as always, a practical touch. Not for deterring overly zealous deckhands, but for securing the delicate kaleidoscope lenses against the buffeting winds and unexpected jolts of an experimental air-current engine. These lenses, while not as advanced as their temporal successors, still offered Captain Thorne a unique perspective, allowing him to spot hidden cloud fortresses and distant enemy squadrons where lesser eyes saw only sky. Should your mission take a darker turn, I suggest the heavy, salvaged beauty of The Temporal Scavenger’s Sight
They whisper of daring raids, illicit cargo, and the exhilarating freedom of the open air. Don these, my dear, and you won't just see the horizon; you'll command it.
