Fantastic Technology

Maelstrom is a fantasy world but not in the typical sense. There is no magic and there are no wizards or dragons. Instead we have fantastic and sometimes horrific science using themes from Steampunk and dark dystopian fantasy. There are airships, mutants and flying cities. Not to mention the Maelstrom itself, a vast poisonous canopy of polluted cloud that shrouds the entire world in shadow.
