Dirty Rat & Heloise - The Auclair Drafting Table
Diana’s quick, inquisitive mind and bright spirit, quickly earned her a spot at the top of her class at the prestigious Astoria Academy of Science and Magic. It wasn’t long before whispers of her brilliance drew the interest of famed industrialists and members of the city’s elite, eagerly funding her projects to have a hand in the promise of future success.
The nights spent at her father’s old drafting table were long in that tiny, rented attic. Crumpled blueprints were in heaps at her feet, while others, containing usable ideas, pinned to the wall. Broken crystals hummed faintly with failed enchantments, laying beside metal pipes, gears and other machine parts while she worked her design to perfection.
The autocarriage was her greatest triumph, a marvel of modernity that revolutionized transportation in Astoria. It was a vehicle without the need for a driver, propelled by a system so elegant, with its blend of engineering and arcane energy, it seemed almost effortless. The success of her brilliant invention catapulted her into fame, and Diana Auclair soon became a household name. With her newfound wealth, she reclaimed her legacy, and moved back to Auclair Manor, restoring it to its former glory. Her father’s old drafting table now stood in its new home - a cozy, but elegant workshop.
But despite her success, Diana became something of a recluse, plunging herself into the realm of innovation once more, as she sought to create something far too precious. Something far too dangerous. Something… with a soul.
