STEAMPUNK ! A sprawling steampunk citadel, The Iron Leviathan, dominates the sky, its towering brass spires and copper domes connected by a labyrinth of whirring gears, rotating platforms, and steam-powered elevators. Massive propellers and billowing smokestacks jut from its sides, keeping the fortress aloft amidst swirling clouds of steam and ember-filled smoke. The citadel is a hive of activity, with airships docking at its many ports, their crews unloading crates of stolen goods and glowing aetheric crystals. Among the chaos, a fleet of flying pirate ships—reminiscent of classic seafaring vessels but retrofitted for the skies—dominates the scene. The flagship, The Crimson Cutlass, is a majestic wooden galleon with brass reinforcements, its sails patched with colorful fabrics and its hull bristling with cannons and tesla coil turrets. A massive, rotating propeller at its stern keeps it aloft, while steam-powered wings extend from its sides, flapping rhythmically. The ship’s figurehead, a roaring dragon with glowing green eyes, seems to come alive as the ship maneuvers through the air. On the citadel’s main deck, a crew of sky pirates prepares for a daring raid. The pirate captain, a rugged figure with a tricorn hat adorned with a feather and a mechanical parrot perched on their shoulder, barks orders through a brass megaphone. Their crew, clad in patchwork leather coats, bronze goggles, and belts laden with tools and ammunition, scrambles to man the cannons and adjust the rigging. Smaller pirate vessels, resembling schooners and sloops, dart between the citadel’s spires, their crews loading stolen steam cores and glowing blue "sky-coal" into their holds. Below the citadel, a floating island of scrap metal and salvaged machinery hosts a bustling pirate shantytown. Rusted chains anchor the citadel to the island, where makeshift docks are filled with airships in various states of repair. A massive, rusted chain connects the island to a colossal mechanical whale, its hull covered in pirate shantytown shacks and its eyes glowing with aetheric energy.
