Disembarking the Northern Marches Express Before the Battle of Black Metal Ridge, before their life-changing encounter with the SpiritWalker, before their introduction to the Curator of the Academy of Forgotten Arts and Sciences, before the Airship Andalusia and the showdown at Sky River Station, Polonius Neathergarden and Lady Penelope Genevieve Philpott were agents of the Sovereign Empire. Tasked by Sovereign Emperor Frederick III to cross the hostile Carthagian Badlands to the distant Northern Marches, collect a mysterious package from the secretive Order of the Crimson Meridian, and deliver the item to the Emperor himself in Sovereign Capitol City -- before war engulfs the region -- Polonius and Penelope must come to rely on each other while evading merciless assassins, outsmarting the wily Achaemeni Corsairs of the Northern Marches, and avoiding capture by the Carthagian Badlands' Free Peoples Militia. Sounds easy, right? #steampunk #theairshipandalusia #polonius #ladypenelope
