Legacy Series: Eternal Guide of Harmony
(Approved for General Circulation Among Ascended Citizens and Academy Students)
@Grande Inventrice Valéria Aetherthorne, b. 1878 – Eternal Present) embodies the radiant evolution of her father's vision. Inheriting the Maison at age 21, Valéria transformed raw industrial might into a blossoming matriarchal utopia—one of empowerment, romance, and balanced wonder.
Raised amid brass gears and steam dreams, Valéria combined her father's technical prowess with a profound empathy for societal grace. Observing the Lowlands' strains, she declared: "Progress without harmony is but smoke." Her reforms elevated women as natural stewards of invention, fostering an era of unparalleled creativity and courtship elegance.
Now, at the youthful age of 50—preserved through her own rejuvenative marvels—Valéria guides from Céleste Prime with undimmed vitality. Her presence at balls and expos inspires awe: flawless poise, luminous skin, and eyes sparkling with eternal ingenuity.
Valéria's genius refined the Ascension into its current splendor:
Familiar Bonding Ritual: The heartfelt masterpiece—elegant soul-merging chambers blending pedigree non-flying mammals (cats, bunnies, toy poodles, foxes, gliding squirrels) with devoted gentlemen. Wedding rings grant cherished human-form moments, turning companionship into profound otome romance.
Aether-Rejuvenation Elixirs: Proprietary steam-infused serums and brass vitality chambers, maintaining youthful radiance and energy. Valéria's own timeless beauty testifies to their perfection—available to esteemed matriarchs via Maison gratuities.
Steam Bloom Conservatories: Revolutionary irrigation engines for island gardens, hybridizing plants with clockwork pollinators for eternal abundance and exotic courtship bouquets.
Harmony Control Rings: Exquisite brass jewelry encoding levitation cues and bonding protocols—symbols of commitment that unlock familiar freedoms.
Cloud Veil Enhancers: Subtle atmospheric stabilizers amplifying natural mists into protective, wondrous skies—preserving navigation proprieties and scenic bliss.
Under Valéria's century of guidance (the Harmonious Refinement), the five core islands achieved perfect equilibrium: rivalries as playful sparks, resources as effortless bounty, and society as an empowering paradise of invention and affection.
Valéria remains our living luminary—attending salons with subtle grace, mentoring young inventrices, and ensuring every matriarch's ascent. Her clone-like youth (a gift of science) promises endless eras of harmony.
Glory to the Eternal Inventrix. Love and Invention Forever.
