Edge, a colossal metropolis pulsating with life, boasts a society as complex as its architecture. Ruled by the enigmatic Everlasting Flame and its council, the city thrives on its scientific advancements. This technological prowess manifests in the marvels crafted by the College of Invention, scholars and artificers who wield electricity, magnetism, and alchemy to create wonders unknown elsewhere.

However, beneath the gleaming towers and vibrant market squares lies a stark reality. A rigid social hierarchy stratifies the populace, with nobles, merchants, and the College elite enjoying unimaginable wealth and influence. The vast middle class strives for stability, while the lower class toil, and the "dirty poor," including slaves, battle for survival in the sprawling slums.

Despite the ban on religion, whispers of forbidden faiths and ancient traditions echo through the alleys. This tension between science and belief adds another layer to the intricate tapestry of Edge, where technological marvels coexist with clandestine practices.

Adding to the city's mystique is the strange power residing within the Everlasting Flame's bloodline, rumored to grant them abilities beyond mere mortals. Yet, even their rule isn't absolute, as the independent MnSobek people remain outside their influence, a testament to the Empire's hidden corners and uncharted territories.
