Beneath a vast canopy of smoke stands Vendetta Row, a sprawling industrial city built upon the fading wonders of a forgotten age. Towering factories, winding bridges, and intricate clockwork define its ever-changing skyline. At adulthood, every citizen undergoes the Tempering, choosing one of five Orders devoted to different philosophies: Brass creates, Iron endures, Silver understands, Bronze explores, and Gold leads. Yet a growing number reject choosing only one path. Calling themselves the Unalloyed, they believe humanity is strongest when many philosophies are forged together.
