Thank ye all for the interest and the kind words.
I'll be keeping the vote open for a while but a clear pattern is emerging.
Heads up, this is be a spin-off of a oneshot quest from 2020:
>>4487084 The popular vote seems to be driving us in the direction of a flat-out sequel.
It's not required reading as everything will be recontextualized by the next protagonist. However, for those of you voting for steampunk submarines and alchymist backstory, I strongly recommend you read it since it is a) a one-shot and b) will give you a good head start on the lore.
If you are hunting for details, you will notice that in the original quest, the Pelagius was launched in 812 AC. This quest retcons the dates and the Pelagius was now launched in 831 AC. I need to move things forward a bit more towards Bruce-Partington Plans, and away from Horatio Hornblower In A Diving Suit.
