Academy of Engineers

The great Academy of Engineers is a massive, sprawling complex built by the Empire to compete with the chaotic, uncontrolled development of magic in the Nine Cities. The academy first established itself in Sixton to the south, but moved on after the public outcry following a string of disastrous experiments that burned down a full third of that city. Here, some of the Empire’s greatest minds push the boundaries of technology to produce marvels of both science and magic, including the city’s great gasworks, ballistic weapons, bombs, steam engines, air ships, and clockworks. The lead engineer is Reena Frent, a studious and awkward woman of unsurpassed intellect. Her current project is the creation of a set of clockwork giants called iron titans
