Under the Crimson Skies [OOC][Steampunk][Closed]
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 11:11 pm
The year is 1890. The dawn of a new decade, and a new era for the world of Aerum. Great strides have been made in the field of science these last forty years, along with it, advances in the field of warfare. Huge steam-powered ships plied the oceans, whilst awe-inspiring airships cruise in the air. On land, bands of steel are laid out across entire empires for locomotives to travel on, carrying people, wares and ideas which will shape things to come. All this would not be possible, of not for two remarkable men.
Anthony Smith, a relatively unknown physicist, was working one stormy night in 1846. He believed that there was a clean, cheap source of energy, nothing like the dirty coal used in his time. He kept working, persevering until that night. The night he changed the world. He called the process cold fusion, generating energy that was safe, clean and easy to use. A fusion hotbox, when combined with a steam engine, could provide almost unlimited power. Power that would change the world forever.
Fast forward to 1868. Smith's fusion hotbox quickly became the most widespread source of energy in the world. Using electrical power generators, homes and business now had a much safer source of light. Machinery in factories were powered by this electricity, creating goods at a speed unmatched in any other time in history. One remarkable man, Jack Pendleton, when working in a gold mine, found an amazing substance. This substance, now known as pendium, had the remarkable ability to repel metals. He worked furiously to further refine this substance, eventually creating the worlds first Lift Reactor, which is the powerhouse of modern airships. Where flying machines once relied on helium and hydrogren to float, our airships rely on pendium to fly, although we still need large fans to increase or decrease altitude. He eventually discovers that this element can be created in fusion hotboxes, albeit in small amounts. His discovery changed the world.
Your role here is to lead your nation, either to victory or defeat, to prosperity or ruin. You will lead vast armadas of naval vessels, fleets of airships and armies made up of steam-powered tanks, well-armed infantry men and giant artillery guns. You will also be able do direct whether your nation produces weapons of war, trade items, or the bare necessities. The choice is yours, but no matter what will happen, this era will be known as that of great turmoil, perseverance and sacrifice. An era of conquerors and the conquered. This is the era of the airship.
