In the steampunk realm of Cape Lumous, a city forged of iron, steam, and ambition, peace has been a fragile illusion ever since the Great Calamity decimated the land a decade ago. Mutated monsters, radioactive wastelands, and political tensions simmer beneath the city’s gleaming surface. But everything changes the day a new, mysterious substance is unearthed in the eastern mines: Ether—a glowing crystal capable of powering machines, mutating matter, reshaping nature, and possibly rewriting the future.
