>>61205417Are you 100% sold on the steampunk setting? Because I got an idea.
Pig based economy.
Think Papua New Guinea but combined with free range factory farming. Pigs are used for slave labor, fat burned for oil, meat used for munching. Everything depends on this singular resource, that happens to be high intelligent, very cute, and wonderfully pink.
Throw Rosemi in the mix, and maybe she's the princess of the kingdom who heartlessly exploits the pigs, maybe she's a pig freedom resistance leader that thinks they're too cute to enslave.
Consider a more bionatural low tech setting, along the lines of Tarkir. Rosemi would be Sultai, Selen Kolaghan, Elira Ataraxia, etc.
This is so far away from your original post, it's all just ideas. Maybe one of them might help.
