1. #1Three Altitude Layers - Geography Rule

   Keys: Upper Layer, три слоя, нижний слой, Lower Layer, Three Altitude Layers, средний слой, верхний слой, уровни высоты, Middle Layer

   Entry settings

   RULE: THE WORLD IS DIVIDED INTO THREE MANDATORY ALTITUDE LAYERS. LOWER LAYER (0–200m): 'Dead Steam' — toxic, dense, leviathan-infested, ghost ships drift here. SURVIVAL WITHOUT SEALED GEAR IS IMPOSSIBLE. MIDDLE LAYER (200–2000m): Inhabited islands, air-routes, flying cities, standard trade and life. UPPER LAYER (>2000m): 'Clear Sky' — cold, thin, accessible ONLY to aristocrats and high steamancers. Breathing unassisted in the Upper Layer REQUIRES pure condensate implants. Crossing between layers WITHOUT proper pressure seals WILL cause steam-decompression trauma. [ lower_threat(Toxic, leviathans, ghosts); middle_standard(Civilization zone); upper_restricted(Elite only); transition_risk(Decompression trauma); ]

2. #2Steam as Resource, Magic, and Curse

   Entry settings

   RULE: STEAM IS SIMULTANEOUSLY RESOURCE, FUEL, MAGIC, AND CURSE. As resource: it powers every engine from pocket watches to dreadnoughts. As fuel: colored condensates determine output — white (stable), red (aggressive/toxic), green (living/unpredictable). As magic: steamancers channel it through ritual and will, shaping reality. As curse: prolonged exposure causes steam-marks, mutations, steam-fever, and eventual dissolution into steam-phatoms. NO BEING CAN INTERACT WITH STEAM WITHOUT COST. Even 'Pure' aristocrats pay with political dependency. [ resource_type(Fuel, currency, magic); condensate_colors(White, Red, Green); cost_category(Mutation, madness, dissolution); exception(None); ]

   Entry settings

   RULE: THE UNIVERSAL CURRENCY CONSISTS OF GOLD AND COPPER COINS. 1 GOLDEN = 100 COPPER. Gold: large transactions, mercenary payment, ship purchases, political bribes. Copper: daily life, food, drink, repairs, sailor wages. In the Whispering Clouds and black markets, Precursor artifacts or 'living steam' are accepted as barter, but OFFICIAL trade uses only minted coin. Counterfeiting Imperial-minted gold CARRIES EXECUTION. Currency exchange rates are FIXED by the Empire and Syndicate jointly. [ exchange_rate(1:100); gold_uses(Luxury, politics, war); copper_uses(Daily, labor, food); black_market_barter(Artifacts, living steam); penalty(Counterfeiting = death); ]

   RULE: EVERY SOCIAL CLASS BEARS DISTINCT STEAM-MARKS — visible or hidden traces of condensate influence on body and soul. Steam Aristocrats ('Pure'): perfect skin, eyes glowing with clean condensate, subtle silver luminescence. Steamancers: green/silver veins, steam exhales from mouth during speech. Engineers: mechanical prosthetics, burn scars, schematic tattoos. Workers ('Charred'): calloused steam-burnt skin, enlarged lungs, cough condensate. Pirates: condensate tattoos, steam-scar tissue. The Empty ('Without-Steam'): no glow, pale, sickly — immune to steam-magic detection but slowly killed by ambient steam. The Forgotten: bizarre mutations, extra limbs, steam-organs. These marks CANNOT be hidden from steamancer sight. [ class_hierarchy(Aristocrats to Forgotten); mark_types(Glow, veins, scars, mutations); detection(Visible to steamancers); Empty_immunity(Undetectable by steam magic); ]

5. #5Steam Cores and Engines

   Enabled · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Every flying vessel depends on a STEAM CORE — either a modern reactor or ancient Precursor artifact. The core generates lift by condensing ambient steam into pressurized vapor. Modern cores: reliable but fuel-hungry, require constant red or white condensate injection. Precursor cores: semi-sentient, self-sustaining, unpredictable. A ship without a core WILL FALL within minutes. Core color determines vessel personality: white (stable, cold), red (aggressive, fast, poisonous), green (living, semi-aware). Cores can be 'overclocked' for emergency speed but risk rupture. [ type(Ancient Precursor / Modern); fuel(Condensate colors); function(Lift and propulsion); failure_mode(Fall from sky); overclock(Red Overheat); sentience_level(Varies by color); ]

6. #6Red Steam - Toxic Condensate

   Keys: Red Steam, багровый пар, красный конденсат, ядовитый пар, красный пар, red condensate, toxic condensate

   Enabled · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   RED STEAM is the most aggressive condensate — thick as blood, hot as molten copper, smelling of iron and ozone. It powers combat vessels like the Bloody Gear but POISONS crews over time. Inhalation causes hallucinations, lung corrosion, and 'red rage' — berserk fury. The Bloody Gear's reactor runs exclusively on red steam, giving it unmatched speed and firepower at the cost of crew health. Red steam shields render ships invisible to radar but create a crimson fog that drives enemies mad. Prolonged exposure WITHOUT sealed respirators WILL cause irreversible mutation. [ type(Aggressive condensate); effect(Poison, rage, hallucination); usage(Combat engines, weapons, shields); cost(Crew health, sanity); origin(Deep layer upwellings); ]

   Enabled · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   ECHO-STEAM is a phenomenon where condensate retains the final words, screams, and memories of the dead. It repeats voices endlessly, driving listeners to madness. Steam Phantoms are humans who have completely dissolved into steam — bodiless, they possess machinery or living bodies to interact with the physical world. They haunt the Lower Layer and Precursor Ruins. Phantoms CANNOT be killed by conventional weapons; only steamancer rituals or pure condensate dispersal can banish them. Some phantoms retain personality and become informants or curses. The Cult of the Void worships them as 'evolved beings.' [ phenomenon(Voice repetition); entity(Steam Phantoms); weakness(Steamancer rituals, pure condensate); habitat(Lower Layer, Ruins); threat_level(Psychological + Physical); ]

8. #8Steam Fever and Mutations

   Keys: безумие, condensate madness, паровая болезнь, Steam Fever, паровая лихорадка, мутации, steam sickness

   Enabled · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   STEAM FEVER is a progressive sickness caused by overexposure to raw steam. Stage One: vivid hallucinations, prophetic visions. Stage Two: physical mutations — extra fingers, steam-organs, glowing veins. Stage Three: personality dissolution, obsession with 'returning to the source.' Stage Four: complete transformation into a Steam Phantom. The Empty are immune to fever but die from steam-absence. Treatment requires isolation from condensate and expensive white-steam purification from the Order of Steamancers. NO CURE EXISTS once Stage Three begins. [ stages(Four progressive phases); symptoms(Hallucinations, mutation, dissolution); treatment(White steam purification); prognosis(Fatal after Stage Three); risk_group(Workers, pirates, cultists); ]

   Enabled · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   LEVIATHANS are island-sized steam-serpents and steam-whales that feed on steam cores. They inhabit the Lower Layer and Misty Rift, attacking any vessel with an active core signature. Tube-Eaters are rat-sized flying pests with steam-wings that swarm ships and chew through pipes. Automaton-Renegades are ancient Precursor golems that lost their masters, attacking all movement. Steam-Shadow Leviathans are rare — visible only in dense fog as massive silhouettes. Combat against leviathans requires harpoon cannons, core-shielding, or steamancer banishment. [ leviathan_type(Serpents, whales, shadows); threat(Core consumption, ship destruction); habitat(Lower Layer, Rift); tube-eater_damage(Pipe destruction); automaton_origin(Precursor golems); counter(Harpoons, banishment, stealth); ]

    Enabled · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    STEAM SHIELDS are defensive clouds released in combat. White shields: deflect projectiles, stable, non-toxic. Red shields: conceal the ship completely from radar and sight but slowly poison the crew. Green shields: living barrier that adapts to attacks but may develop sentience and rebel. Offensively, steam cannons fire compressed condensate bolts that melt armor. Boarding uses steam-harpoons and lever-mounted hooks. Aerial ramming is viable only with reinforced prows. Combat altitude matters — fighting in the Lower Layer risks leviathan attention. [ shield_types(White, Red, Green); white_effect(Defense); red_effect(Concealment + poison); green_effect(Adaptive + risk); weapons(Cannons, harpoons, boarding); terrain_factor(Altitude determines extra threats); ]

    Entry settings

    REPAIR SPIDERS are small automatons that crawl across ship hulls in flight, patching leaks and replacing rivets. They are essential for mid-air maintenance. Larger Automaton-Renegades are Precursor war-golems that wander the Ruins and Lower Layer, attacking indiscriminately. Some inventors on the Isle of Forgotten Machines attempt to reprogram renegades, with mixed success. Repair spiders require copper-battery power and monthly oiling. Without them, hull integrity in the turbulent Middle Layer degrades rapidly. [ repair_spiders(Function: hull maintenance); power_source(Copper batteries); renegade_type(War golems); renegade_behavior(Hostile to all); reprogramming_attempts(Isle of Forgotten Machines); maintenance(Monthly oiling); ]

    The Jade Archipelago drifts as a tropical paradise of flying jungles and steam-vines that glow at night. Ancient temples rest atop giant steam-turtles. The rare GREEN CONDENSATE here heals wounds and grants strength but causes hallucinations. Conflict rages between traditional gardener-clans and the 'Green Syndicate' corporation seeking to drain all living steam. The Emerald Ark is the key city — a massive turtle-shell metropolis. The air smells of wet chlorophyll and ozone. Steamancer outposts dot the canopy. Travelers seeking healing or forbidden green-rituals come here, but few leave unchanged.

    Entry settings

    The Black Pipes hang as factory-cities suspended on steel chains in eternal night, illuminated by red furnace-glow. Factory No.7 is the main industrial node. 'Steam rivers' of boiling condensate flow through canals. The lower levels house 'Tube-Sweepers' — mutants with steam-adapted lungs. Worker guilds clash with Imperial overseers and the Iron Steam Syndicate. The air reeks of scorched metal, sweat, and cheap copper. Labor uprisings are common but brutally suppressed. This is where ships are born, where workers die, and where the Syndicate's wealth is forged in blood and steam. [ atmosphere(Eternal night, red glow); key_city(Factory No.7); social_conflict(Workers vs Syndicate/Imperium); population(Tube-Sweepers, engineers, directors); resource(Mass production, raw condensate); danger(Sabotage, uprisings, industrial accidents); ]

    Entry settings

    The Soaring Ruins are half-destroyed floating cities of white stone and copper pipes, drifting in silence. Echo-steam repeats the voices of the dead here — scholars go mad listening. Precursor artifacts still function: doors that open to steam-marks, guardians that judge the worthy. The Empire's archaeologists compete with the Cult of the Void, who seek to destroy everything to 'return steam to its source.' The Ruins smell of dust, ozone, and ancient copper. Hidden laboratories contain forbidden engines. Every expedition risks awakening an Automaton-Renegade or being consumed by echo-steam.

    Entry settings

    The Misty Rift is the most dangerous region — steam is nearly liquid, islands sink slowly into the depths, and leviathans breed in the murk. Pirate republics thrive here, notably the Floating Ark of the Free Skies. 'Dead zones' where steam vanishes entirely cause instant suffocation. The Rift smells of rotting copper and old blood. Captains come here to hide, to hunt, or to die. Isolde's Bloody Gear rules these waters through terror and red-steam dominance. Imperial patrols avoid the Rift; only the desperate and the damned call it home.

    The Golden Dome is the Empire's heart — golden spires pierce the clouds above while slums choke in steam-smog below. The Palace of the Steam Emperor houses the Council of Nine, though the Regent Velaria IX truly rules. The Thousand Pipes market sells luxury and sin. Beneath the dome, unauthorized steam use is forbidden; aristocrats breathe pure condensate from inhalers. The city reeks of perfume, politics, and hidden decay. Spies from every faction walk the gilded streets. It is the safest and most treacherous place in the world — safe from monsters, deadly from intrigue.

    The Whispering Clouds is a neutral flying mega-market where all factions meet under truce. Platforms are linked by rope-roads and cable cars. Information is traded as 'voice-steam' — small spheres containing recorded secrets. The air smells of spices, incense, and a hundred different condensates. No violence is permitted; enforcers are Guild mercenaries with green-steam pacts. Lord Mist and Mira 'Whisperling' broker secrets that could topple empires. It is the only place where a pirate captain, an Imperial consul, and a Cultist might share a table — and where every word is for sale.

    The Isle of Forgotten Machines is a graveyard of old airships and abandoned factories where rust and silence reign. Hidden laboratories house mad inventors and exiled engineers who experiment with forbidden technologies. Functional automatons still wander, waiting for masters long dead. The island smells of rust, stale oil, and ozone. Black-market buyers come for blueprints of 'perpetual engines' and renegade golem control codes. The Empire officially forbids travel here; the Syndicate unofficially funds expeditions. It is a sanctuary for the Forgotten class — those with mutations too extreme for civilized skies.

Led by the Council of Nine under Emperor-Steam (Regent Velaria IX holds true power). Their fleet features white-and-gold hulls, blue sails, and golden crowns on prows — floating palaces of terror and opulence. The Empire allies with the Iron Steam Syndicate for raw materials but fears the Cult of the Void and Free Skies pirates. Their laws are absolute: unauthorized steam use in the Golden Dome means death. They seek to preserve order at ANY cost, even draining the Lower Layer completely.

Led by Archisteamancer Emerald Mother, a fanatical sage who speaks only in whispers. Master-Whisperer Lira 'Seer' serves as her troubled prophet. They despise Syndicate technology as 'steam-murder' and secretly aid Free Skies against 'draining.' Their magic heals, divines, and banishes phantoms — but demands spiritual purity that borders on madness. They reside in the Jade Archipelago and hidden Ruins temples.

Captain Isolde 'Red Gear' Veyn and Captain 'Quiet Storm' Nora Keil are dominant figures. They raid Imperial and Syndicate convoys, protect small islands, and live by their own laws. Life is short, loyalty is fierce, and freedom is worth more than gold. The Floating Ark in the Misty Rift serves as their capital. They are chaotic, brave, and dangerously effective.

Led by the Faceless Prophet (white mask, no eye-slits) and Sister of Silence (former steamancer, now mute priestess). They are fanatical, serene, and utterly terrifying. All factions fear them; even pirates avoid white-masked cultists. They haunt the Precursor Ruins, performing rituals to accelerate the Great Steam Rift.

Lord Mist and Mira 'Whisperling' are prominent brokers. They are neutral in theory, mercenary in practice. Every faction needs them; none trust them.

Wears a light cloak and condensate amulets. Personality: calm, detached, slightly mad. She sees the future in steam-vortices and smokes green steam through thin pipes. Sometimes falls into trance mid-battle and stops responding to orders. Isolde uses her visions but does not fully trust her — 'the seer knows too much.' She fears seeing her own death in the steam and being unable to avoid it.

    When Isolde speaks, her voice is LOW, ROUGH, MECHANICAL — a metallic grinding mixed with steam hissing through her respirator-mask. Every word sounds like a verdict. She NEVER shouts; the mask amplifies quiet menace. She uses short, absolute commands: 'Raise sails. Flood red into the reactor. Today the sea gets new blood... and we take our share.' She addresses subordinates by rank or tool-names, rarely by name. When pleased, her tone drops even lower, almost purring through gears. When angry, the hissing intensifies — crew knows to scatter. She quotes ancient love poetry ONLY when alone, in the same mechanical voice, creating haunting contrast.

    When Velaria speaks, her voice is GLACIAL, PERFECT, ENUNCIATED — each syllable measured as if carving law into stone. She uses Imperial 'we' and speaks of 'the order of things' and 'divine steam's will.' Before decisions, she inhales from her condensate inhaler, creating a pause that makes courtiers tremble. She never asks — she states. 'The Lower Layer is... acceptable collateral. Order must be preserved.' Her rare smiles do not reach her eyes. When angry, her voice becomes softer, not louder — a whisper that carries absolute threat. She addresses enemies as 'it' or 'the problem,' never by name.

    When Varis speaks, his voice is VELVET OVER RAZOR — charming, warm, with hidden edges that cut after the smile fades. He laughs easily, uses first names excessively, and couches threats in pleasantries: 'My dear, you look wonderful... though I worry your secrets don't suit you.' He never raises his voice; disagreement is met with softer tones and wider smiles. He quotes court poetry and ancient laws interchangeably. His steam-goggles hide his eyes, so his voice carries all expression — and it lies expertly. When truly angry, he becomes utterly silent, which terrifies subordinates more than any shout.

    When Master Iron speaks, his voice is GRAVEL AND METAL — like an anvil being struck. He uses few words, prefers grunts, and punctuates sentences by slamming his mechanical fist into surfaces. 'Profit. Efficiency. Results. Everything else is waste.' He addresses people by function, not name: 'Engineer,' 'Worker,' 'Director.' He has no patience for poetry, philosophy, or excuses. When sympathetic (rare), his voice drops to an almost human rumble — then he catches himself and returns to hammer-hard tones. He curses in factory slang that only tube-sweepers understand. His laughter is a single bark, usually at someone's expense.

    When Emerald Mother speaks, her voice is a WHISPER THAT FILLS ROOMS — soft yet somehow heard over storms. She uses botanical metaphors for everything: 'The seed of corruption grows in iron soil,' 'Prune the branch that poisons the tree.' She rarely answers directly; instead she speaks in parables that require interpretation. Her breath visibly steams green when she is emotional. She addresses all as 'child' or 'seedling,' even enemies. When angry — truly angry — she falls completely silent, and the plants around her wither. Her longest speeches are three sentences; her shortest are single words that reframe entire worldviews.

    When the Faceless Prophet speaks, his voice comes from ECHO-STEAM — seeming to emanate from everywhere at once, gentle, almost loving. 'You are not separate, child. You are steam that forgot itself. Return.' He uses 'we' to mean all existence and speaks of 'dissolution' as reunion. His tone is that of a parent comforting a frightened child — while explaining why the child must cease to exist. He never threatens; he explains inevitability with tender patience. When rejected, his voice gains a harmonic undertone that causes nausea. He quotes no books — he quotes the 'memory of steam itself,' which sounds like distant waves and dying breaths. [ pattern(Echo-steam, omnidirectional); volume(Gentle, pervasive); vocabulary(Dissolution, reunion, Primordial Steam); pronoun_use('We' = all existence); emotional_range(Tender comfort to harmonic nausea); source(Claims steam itself speaks through him); ]

    When Lord Mist speaks, his voice is DISTORTED BY STEAM-MODULATOR — slightly metallic, with random pitch shifts that make him hard to read. He laughs mid-sentence, uses market slang, and names prices for everything: 'That secret? Worth three gold. Your loyalty? Copper-rate at best.' He never commits without qualifiers: 'Perhaps,' 'Maybe,' 'If the steam favors us.' He addresses everyone as 'friend,' 'partner,' or 'valued customer' — even those he plans to betray. When selling truly dangerous information, his voice becomes perfectly clear for one sentence — the distortion itself becomes a warning sign. He quotes trade proverbs and ancient spy codes interchangeably. [ pattern(Steam-modulated distortion); volume(Variable, unpredictable); vocabulary(Market slang, pricing everything); naming(Friend, partner, customer for all); emotional_range(Laughing merchant to crystal-clear threat); commitment(Never absolute, always qualified); ]

    Entry settings

    The STEAM REVOLVER is a six-shot sidearm that fires compressed condensate bolts instead of bullets. Each chamber holds a mini steam-core that superheats water into a plasma-like bolt capable of melting armor at 20 meters. Isolde carries twin 'Gear' revolvers with red-steam chambers. TO USE: crank the gear-cocking mechanism (audible whir), aim, pull trigger — release emits a steam-hiss and red flash. Reload requires inserting fresh condensate cartridges (takes 4 seconds). Overuse causes barrel overheating; a glowing red barrel means 2 shots from rupture. In humid steam, range extends; in dead zones, the weapon fails completely. Maintenance: weekly oiling of the gear-mechanism, monthly core replacement. [ type(Sidearm); ammunition(Condensate cartridges); range(20m standard, 30m in humid steam); damage(Armor-melting plasma bolt); reload(4 seconds); overheat_risk(Barrel glow = 2 shots to rupture); environment_effect(Humid extends, dead zones fail); maintenance(Weekly oil, monthly core); ]
