In the Milky War roughly 6000 years ago, Elven civilization was destroyed by a wish to drive the Egg-Hatchers out from elven history by a woman now only known in legend as Itzli.
"...In a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea."
In that same way, Elven civilization melted away, as their spaceships turned into sand through force of that wish, fragmenting over ten thousand worlds, killing all those worlds that used terraforming. Only a few worlds survived and even then, technology crumbled away, dragging Elven civilization back in the Stone Age.
In myths, it is said, that enchanted by legendary beings called Puella Magi, some fragments of Elven civilization remain, preserved, untouched by the curse of Itzli.

Locked in Industrial it is. Commencing write-up.

It is an era of great political, social and economic change.
The invention of the steam engine and the consequent development of steam locomotives have made travel across continents a regular occurrence. Steamships have connected two continents, the speed of correspondence being reduced to mere weeks.
The old, feudal orders, have been greatly disrupted by this change in economics. Serfdom has become increasingly difficult to manage as the aristocracy have been finding themselves being supplanted by the new capitalist class. However, there are theories that once day this aristocracy and new class will one day merge, according to more radical political elements.
You, an elf, live in this great era of turmoil and expansion and you are a:
[] Rabblerousing archaeologist down on his luck.
[] A lieutenant in an army fighting to preserve a country.
[] A filthy peasant in the strongest country on the main continent.
[] One of Her Majesty's loyal marines seeking to expand Her Dominion.
[] Write-in (no political leader figures.)

A factory owner in an industry that is not making profits in a factory town.
This quest is running too slow right now because I picked a sleepy time slot, so it's currently paused until next morning (for me). Looks like it's going to be a one shot for decency's sake.
if you're interested in it and think others are going to play it next morning, keep it alive. Otherwise, just let it die.
This quest is a spin-off of my other quest on SV https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/legend-of-the-illuminatist-madoka-the-revolutionary-human-incubator-war-quest-pmmm-logh.22145/
