The Industrial Revolution has arrived in the Empire, heralding advancements in mechanics, electronics, science, and industry that define the Age of Reason. As modern technological conveniences and mechanical wonders become increasingly common, mass production begins to emerge alongside artisanal craftsmanship. This progress often clashes with traditional values, and while not everyone agrees that advanced technology represents progress, there are those who wholeheartedly adopt this new perspective, recognizing the potential of new technologies to improve the world. These pioneers, informally known as Industrialists, dedicate themselves to the mastery and innovation of mechanical, electrical, and clockwork technologies.
