Description
What's Next - Griggsby Station
Just a quick update from The Airship Andalusia for our friends and followers on projects that are currently in production:
Griggsby Station
Welcome to Griggsby Station, a sleepy frontier town deep in the heart of the Carthagian Badlands. Known as "The Griggs" by locals, the town serves both as a stopover on the Sovereign airship route connecting Capitol City with Restoration Point and a transfer point for travelers continuing north by rail towards the Northern Marches. On any given day, it is common to see haughty Sovereign royalty, savage barbarians, uniformed airship crewmen, exotic Achaemeni Corsairs, wily sky pirates, red fez-wearing members of the Order of The Crimson Meridian, traders, explorers, outlaws, and frontier settlers making their way through town.
The town is a Badlands crossroads of sorts and while many travelers pass through The Griggs, few stay.
Those who call Griggsby Station home are true Badlanders -- courageous, adventurous types who carve out a living from the harsh, unforgiving environment. People like Marshal Ennaya T'wayh and her deputy, Perceval Farraday, Airship Captain Olivia Trensch and her first mate, Clive, and Mekka Clan Third Degree Fixer, Djinn.
For these three Badlanders, life continues as usual until the discovery of ancient, powerful artifacts catapults them into a dangerous game of closely-guarded secrets and competing interests. As if their newly-complicated life isn't difficult enough, an accident leaves them all with a most unexpected guest whose presence could shift the balance of power in the region.
This is Griggsby Station!

Very nice. Nothing like a Spencer carbine and a burning airship in the same scene. Like the female having an ammo pouch for the weapon, though it really would have been cool if she'd had a Blakeslee cartridge box...)
Hope the ship is filled with helium...
Great to see a little story behind the scene. Think I'd have called the Badlands "Xanadu" or something contradictory just because...:)

Thank you for the compliments! You have good eyes to spot those specific details! Yes, the airships are filled with a variant of helium called “heavy helium.” This helium compound is more stable, less flammable, and provides extended buoyancy compared to pure helium. The Badlands are named after Lord Perceval’s airship, The Carthage, in which he explored and mapped the exterior portions of the Badlands. His story is covered in The Airship Andalusia - Book 2, Part 1. Yeah, there’s a story behind all this…

Super cool scene and style
