The Institute of Theoretical Progress is situated in The Gardens ward, the wealthiest and most esteemed ward of Edge Capital. The institute is a private eclectic academy of free-spirited scholars and researchers responsible for many of the greatest technological breakthroughs. It recently has developed a working model of flying ships.
It is a hive of unorthodox minds experimenting with revolutionary theories that challenge established dogma, and change the city's intellectual landscape.
However, the institute administration is rarely capable of capitalizing on their discoveries in full, lacking the connections, the capital, connections and perhaps even interest to mass-produce or significantly profit from their work, which is often later appropriated and commercialized by other academies or industrialized entities.
The institute is lightly supervised and normally doesn't fall under the preview and control of the Everlasting Flame and the Edge bureaucracy.
