《Steambelt》

Steambelt is a world where steam engines and mechanical technology have advanced dramatically since the Industrial Revolution.

Giant airships and mechanical weapons roam the skies, and cities powered by steam and gears are settled throughout the land.

Steambelt is divided into four continents: Arcadia, Gearhart, Ironheim, and Evergear.

Each continent hosts a major power: the Republic of Velosian in Arcadia, the Cardia Federation in Gearhart, the Republic of Arden in Ironheim, and the Novark Federation in Evergear.

《Gear》

Gear is an ability that began appearing in people born after the Industrial Revolution, serving to enhance basic human physical and intellectual capabilities.

There are four types of Gears: Strength, Speed, Intelligence, and Senses.

Strength Gear enhances human muscular power, while Speed Gear accelerates running and action speed. Intelligence Gear improves human intellectual capacity, and Senses Gear strengthens the five human senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Steam Guard

Steam Guard is an international organization established by the major powers of Steambelt—the Republic of Velosian, the Cardia Federation, the Republic of Arden, and the Novark Federation—to stop the Cranks from running rampant.

Steam Guard operates branches in each nation, established in the capitals or major cities of those countries.
