The world is one of elegance and quiet tension — an Edwardian age of magic, invention, and empire, where nations vie for power through diplomacy, discovery, and deception. There are no world-ending threats, only an ever-shifting balance of ambition and pride. Airships, alchemy, and arcane science drive progress, while wars are fought in courts, laboratories, and salons as much as on battlefields.

Your strange blessing allows you to cross and fuse these tiers, creating miracles no one else can predict or replicate. In a world driven by control and refinement, you are the anomaly — a spark of divine chaos in an age of order.
