Fanart - SkyPirateStuck!Aranea

Aranea Serket the Scribe is as long-winded as the papers she writes.  Her exposition has good intentions, but her audience usually falls asleep before it’s over.  A huge history nut, she spends her days writing down her friends’ exploits, hoping one day, they will end up the Great Library of Beforus.

In this universe, steam power (much like nuclear power) was invented during war that destroyed the earth’s surface.  Thus, people created great engines to lift islands of arable land into the sky. This resulted in two classes of people: those who live on the sky islands and those who power the steam engines that keep it afloat.  Body modification with steam-powered accessories has become the norm to help people survive with their minimal resources.
