World Overview

Technology
Gas and steam power are prodominate sources of technology. Oil or gass is pumped through pipes to lamps that light up the streets of major cities while cangles and manual oil lamps are common place. Other sources of energy are waterwheels, wind and Shar (sila shar), a raw magic mined from the earth.

Electricity in mass does not exist due to magnets themselves not pressent in the world.

Magic
Magic is a hidden art. Few teach it for few have the concentration, patience, or talent to wield it without causing more trouble then its worth. There are many types of magic across Pneumatica and some are more regulated then others. (eg types Shamanistic, Druidic, Arcane, Elemental, Faith)

Politics
Geography: The landscape itself is earthlike in nature using the same global map. Major cities in Pneumatica are modeled, roughly, after those we know in the real world. This adds a level of conection to the world as players that lets them see the fantastic scapes of Pneumatica in their own backyard.
