Occult mastery

Not a real big fan of steampunk which seems to be the direction GD is heading

Now, that’s a false rumour due to the setting.

I use “Victorian” loosely as a term to help convey the look of the game since I think many people are familiar with it and it instantly conjures up certain imagery. However, we’re drawing from a larger expanse of history as inspiration for our world. Really I guess you could say we’re borrowing ideas and imagery from a range more like 1650ish-1920ish. Some aspects of human culture and technology on Cairn are more primitive than the Victorian period on Earth, some aspects are a little more advanced. So it is sort a mishmash of Colonial New England to WW1 era culture / technology / architecture / clothing.

However, given the fictionalization of the pre-modern period we’re drawing our inspiration from, you will see some styles semi-reminiscent of steampunk. We just won’t be throwing gears and wires all over everything.

I’d describe it as sword & sorcery, just in a slightly later time period than is typical.
