🔮 A Glimpse into the Empire’s Future
The Empire’s engines roared once more — a sound that marked the dawn of invention and ambition.
It all began with the Steampunk World Expo, a grand exhibition at the heart of the Empire’s trade capital — remembered by historians as “a glimpse into the future.”
🕰️ Episode I — The Steampunk Expo
Year 35 Before the Rift
The Expo gathered the Empire’s most brilliant minds — seven visionaries, each burning with personal ambition.
Within the haze of steam and brass, wonders filled the halls:
- 🚀 Steam-powered airships and mechanical beasts
- ⛏️ Ore transport engines and experimental flyers
- 🛡️ Soldiers of steel and early time machine prototypes
Yet beneath the brilliance and applause, deals were struck in silence.
Whispers spread among the elite — of power, profit, and a mysterious new ideal known only as “The Dreamland.”
The Expo closed its doors, but the gears of fate had already begun to turn.
⛏️ Episode II — The Ore Factory Conspiracy
Months after the Expo
From the shadows of the exhibition emerged Edward Varnon, the Factory Master.
Through loans, trades, and secret alliances, he extended his reach across the Empire.
His railway network carried not only ore — but also crystals that glowed with forbidden light.
Opposition arose from the Time Faction, scholars of the Library of Time and the Memory Magic Shop, who warned:
“When steam runs unchecked, even the past cannot be preserved.”
Still, Edward’s influence grew. His name was whispered with awe — and fear — as his empire of industry began to eclipse the Empire itself.
