"Polonius and Lady Penelope, what you see before you is the Reliquary. It is here that we store the most powerful devices humanity has ever created. Many years ago, the Sovereign Emperor, Frederick, and his followers set about destroying humanity’s advanced technologies and the erasing the knowledge that created them. This was called The Truing. When the Truing began, members of the Sovereign Academy of Arts and Sciences knew the Emperor would seek to destroy our libraries, laboratories, and all the knowledge housed here. The Academy recognized the danger of the Emperor’s fanatical anti-technology obsession. So, by the time the cleansing fires of The Truing began, we were in the final stages of our quiet plan. With the Emperor’s forces advancing on the Academy, we implemented the first step in our plan to preserve the greatest scientific and artistic achievements of humanity: we untethered the Academy campus from this time line, making it impossible for the Emperor to locate. This idea came from Professor Emeritus Albion T. Waringen. His research -- and the devices he built -- enabled us to accomplish this feat. Thanks to Professor Waringen's work, within these walls lies the most complete repository of humankind’s greatest scientific and artistic achievements. It is the last collection of its kind, anywhere. We now call ourselves the Academy of Forgotten Arts and Sciences. I think it is a most fitting moniker." #Steampunk #TheAirshipAndalusia
