✦ Synopsis

The Clockwork Century

Stonewall Jackson survived Chancellorsville. England broke the
Unions naval blockade, and formally recognized the Confederate States
of America. Atlanta never burned.

It is 1880. The American Civil War has raged for nearly two decades,
driving technology in strange and terrible directions. Combat dirigibles
skulk across the sky and armored vehicles crawl along the land.
Military scientists twist the laws of man and nature, and barter their
souls for weapons powered by light, fire, and steam.

But life struggles forward for soldiers and ordinary citizens. The
fractured nation is dotted with stricken towns and epic scenes of
devastationsome manmade, and some more mysterious. In the western
territories cities are swallowed by gas and walled away to rot while the
frontiers are strip-mined for resources. On the borders between North
and South, spies scour and scheme, and smugglers build economies more
stable than their governments.

This is the Clockwork Century.

It is dark here, and different.
