World Blue | A Steampunk Fairytale

World Blue: a Steampunk Fairytale. Can you survive the things that go bump in the night?

The Story so Far...

In 1853, at the height of its industrial and political power, two major events rocked Britain to its core. The first was the sudden succumbing of its ruler, Queen Victoria, to a sleeping sickness from which no doctor could revive her. The second was the Great Cataclysm, a global event that shattered the Earth and covered its skies with a toxic Miasma.

Cityships were hastily constructed by the governments of the world, and took to the skies - Britain first placing their still-sleeping Queen in a Stasis Chamber and establishing her on board their flagship, Cityship London. Because of the space restrictions, only the best of each country were allowed onto the Cityships, and the Fey-folk were all left behind.

World Blue takes place centuries later. Society aboard the Cityships has stagnated, and virtually no advancements have been made. Paranoia of the world outside the ships has become all-consuming, and nobody is allowed in or out of the Cityship where they were born, save for a handful of scouting and trading vessels.

One day, one of these vessels returns with reports of floating islands in the sky - news which sends the paranoid, repressed citizens of the Cityships into mass panic. Amidst this hysteria, some brave (or foolhardy) adventurers set forth to discover what this new wonder may portend...

It is into this world that you stumble. Do you seek fame and fortune, even the favour of the Queen herself? Are you looking for an adventure, a mystery to pit yourself against? Or do you simply have nowhere else to go? Into this world you walk, and who knows where destiny's hand will guide you? Good luck, traveller...

You'll need it...
