The world has long been submerged by an ocean of ecryme, a strange acidic substance that corrodes everything. Humanity managed to survive on the small outcroppings and islands left in its wake. They built a civilization based on steelwork and stonework, where wood is almost nonexistent. Large cities, built vertically to make the most of what little space exists, sprang up from the horizon. After a few hundred years of development, driven by impulse, humanity built the traverses, endless gigantic bridges to cross the ecryme sea and connect to one another coming together through chance or perhaps something greater. For in the strange world of Ecryme, the emotions of humankind seem to hold a power of their own. Ecryme is a dystopian steampunk TTRPG set in a time parallel to our Gilded Age, but in a world forever changed by an apocalyptic event in the distant past.
