The Story: Rust, Airships, and a Plunge Toward the Earth
Centuries ago, an alliance of master engineers and paladins built Aeraveska to transcend the petty squabbles and borders of the lands below. But their blueprints died with them.
Now, the city’s heart—a dying arcane generator—spews poisonous fog through the lower tiers. Below, desperate citizens live nailed into retired skyships hanging over the deadly abyss. Above, the elite Mechanist Guild struggles to weld scrap over cracked bulkheads, while the winged cultists of the “True Defenders” wage a bloody purge against outsiders.
When rumors whisper of a conspiracy to detonate the generator core, your players must navigate airship slums, lethal guildhall shootouts, and aerial dogfights before the entire metropolis plummets into the ground.

The Living Sky City (15 Locations): Fully realized districts including the smog-choked Skyship Slums, Ms. Eva’s Saloon (guarded by twin clockwork golems), The Blue Bridge Inn, The Sky Temple, the Aeronaut School, and Lavech’s Extraplanar Market.

-
2 Ready-to-Run Adventures (System-Agnostic):

An Explosive Conspiracy: Uncover a slum rebellion intending to bring the city down to earth—with a gut-wrenching moral climax where players decide whether to save the city or grant the desperate slum-dwellers an escape.
