Not even my final form
the skies are not as peaceful as they used to be. Forty thousand years ago, humanity sprang from the roots of the floating islands amid our gas giant world of Celestis, a world among the clouds, a megalith among the stars. on our world, liquid hydrogen at the core magnetized the cobalt on some of the asteroids crashing down into the planet's stormy atmosphere, propelling them upwards into the skies, creating the first islands, and the rare continents.
Humanity had minimal contact with one another until the invention of the steam engine. People lived on their own outposts, farming, unaware of the existence of anyone else until the arrival of the off sky ship, propelled by sail and by a huge store of magnetic material in the core that prevented it from falling into the clouds. Up until 400 years ago, it was slavery, not industry, that was the motive force of capitalism on our planet.
All that changed when the brilliant engineer Aeternius invented his steam engine: while almost no oil on our world exists owing to the rarity of large continents, wood, which can be burned into charcoal, is in abundance. After the advent of this source of power, the relationships of the economies and powers of the states of the world began to change. the old megapowers ,the trade cities and continents, gave way to the power of rising industrial giants. In this violent world, how will your nation guide its fate?
