Introducing: Pradnya Sharma
After Pradnya's last child married and moved out on his own, she started looking for something else to do with her time. She'd spent so much of her life in the house, she just didn't have a grasp of how bad thangs had gotten. Taxes were still high. People were still conscripted for the British factories, Tamils had risen up about water rights just a few years ago. Something had to be done. Cut off the flow of money they came here for, and the British will go home, or so people said. So, Pradnya took a part time job with a salvage firm. Some of the devices weren't ordinary technology. They were Weird Science. That was how Pradnya found out she had the ability to become a Mage. Pradnya now works at a bench, building Weird Science devices out of salvaged parts for a free india, having found a non-violent revolutionary act she could be part of.
Victoria and Albert rule over a steam-powered British Empire that spans two worlds. Thanks to the portal knows as the Rabbit Hole, a train ride away from London lies the Grosvenor Land, a new world of fertile plains, towering mountains, giant insects and Babylonians with weird science zombies. Seems they got there first, three thousand years ago, and they're not exactly the welcoming sort. The Saurid tribes, lizard-like folk who ride theropods and pteranodons, complicate matters further. Back home on Earth, clockwork engineering has brought mechanical computing to the world, and micro-steam engines drive airships through the sky. Stranger things are afoot, too, as a bit of magic seems to have come into the world with the opening of the portal. People are changing. Secret societies are finding their ancient occult practices a bit more effective. Who knows what might be lurking in the forests these days, or in that shipment from China
