Doesn't it sound familiar?
Steampunk is a term given to a work set in a time or world where steam power is widely used and that steampunk technology dominates the lifestyles of the people in this world.

So, you're probably wondering what the technological level of Vaenice is. Well, this thread will help clear things out.

Known inventions in Vaenice:


  • Steam-powered vehicles (such as early 1900's cars) for the wealthy, horse-drawn carriages for the rest.
  • Airships (powered by the interaction of steam and a magical energy source called Auria)
  • Guns (Slow-reloading rifles and pistols)
  • Cannons (These are usually mounted on sea vessels and are used in city defenses as well)
  • Penny-farthings (The bicycles with gigantic front wheels and tiny rear wheels)
  • Explosives (Most of the time just a barrel of gunpowder that's set alight)
  • Gas Lighting (Powered by fuels, the heat/light given off is adjustable)
  • Magnets & Magnet-powered devices (Electromagnets to be exact, metals wrapped with wires)
  • Typewriters/Newspaper (Y'know, those... typing machines. And news... on a paper.)
  • Artificial limbs/body parts (Things like crude mechanical arms, legs, and even eye scopes exist here. However, don't go overboard with the cyborg parts. What I mean is that your character should be mostly human.)
  • Robotic pets (These are also very crude looking, powered by gears and magic)
  • Telegraphs (With Morse Code and all STOP All sentences end with stop STOP)
  • Time Machines (Devices which allow people to travel through time and space)
  • Penguins (Yes, contrary to popular belief, penguins are actually robots, invented by the army to gun down incoming enemy aircraft)

Basically...
