Description
Crown of Steam is set on Earth in an alternate timeline where the Industrial Revolution, powered by a newly discovered element known as galvanite, went far beyond the scope of our history. The balance of power was forever shifted by massive airships, ironside submersibles, mechanical automatons, and even stranger contraptions that bend physics to their very breaking point.

One of the most startling devices is the Misri Ring; invented by Jayra Misri in an attempt to allow for instantaneous long-distance communication. Instead, she opened a portal to the Fair Realms allowing unprecedented contact with the immortal creatures of faerie. While mortals and fey had occasionally slipped through from time to time when the moon and seasons were right, the Misri Ring allowed for permanent portals to be established.

First contact kicked off a war between mortal and faerie that lasted over two decades. Now, due to the Twilight Truce: the two realms have entered an uneasy peace. Fey creatures have become a somewhat common sight in human cities and economic incentives have been put in place to encourage human pioneers to stake claim within the Fair Realms.

You take on the role of a member of Adelguard’s Society for the Exploration of our Wonderous World or just the “Wonder Society” for short. The organization sponsors adventures into all corners of the Earth in search of strange new discoveries. The Wonder Society has recently expanded its membership to include members of the fair folk and is now making a concentrated effort to catalog the seemingly endless mysteries of faerie.

The Wonder Society uses Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition with expanded rules for steam technology and firearms. Characters begin at 3rd level and may choose to play as a human, warforged or a member of the fair races (elves, dwarves, gnomes, etc.).
