A world where fairy magic and Victorian steam technology coexist.
The industrial revolution helped to reduce the belief in fairies and woodland magic…but what if it hadn’t? What if out there somewhere is a fairy riding a steam powered zeppelin through a magical forest?
Would that zeppelin need to be armored to protect against random unicorn horn jabs?
How dangerous would squirrels be to a crew of such a machine? …now I suppose a hawk or eagle would be more dangerous but I get this picture in my head of a big fluffy flying squirrel dive bombing the zeppelin while the crew of fairies in their finest Victorian pirate gear defend the ship with sabres and rapiers. This could be epic swashbuckling stuff! If you forget for a second that a squirrel really isn’t that big, or epic.
There are interesting thoughts here that I want to explore…
