This is the wiki for the pen-and-paper-rpg story/setting :3

As the currently running story is centered around Vienna in 1921, most of this wiki will describe the situation and characters of ethrium-world Europe/Austria/Vienna. If you want to pick up the setting for your own campaign, feel free to either also use add to this wiki or fork it, as is most suited for your group. :)

A Short History

The story is set in a what-if deviation of our world, in which a global catastrophe occurred around 1848 that altered the course of history. Severe meteorite showers devastated large parts of the world and introduced a yet unknown material with high energy density, latter dubbed "Ethrium" to the earth. What was started by the direct destruction by the meteorites, was finished by dust-storms containing the material as well as highly destructive Ethrium-age wars over control of it - large regions (e.g. most of France and south-eastern Europe ) were essentially rendered uninhabitable.

However this new material also lead to a burst of technological advancement, both due to the high energy density of the material as well as it's "inspiration-enhancing" effects of being exposed to it for prolonged periods of time or even stronger, when imbibing it. These technological jumps also was responsible for some critical shifts in power-balances.
