Chadoon Steam Train Station.
The platform is busier than usual, crowded with civilians fleeing in haste due to the news of the 'Sleeping Curse'.
In contrast to the bustling crowd, the number of people getting off the train is considerably sparse.
Amongst these few, a group of people stands out.
They are a mixture of men and women, hovering around a tall woman in her thirties, her eyes outlined with eyeshadow and adorned in various metal decorations, giving her an accent of mechanical modernity.
As they stepped out of the station, a gentleman eagerly waiting approached them, doffed his hat, and greeted, "Lady Jia De, I presume? I have prepared your accommodations already. Please follow me."
The group boarded the carriage and stopped before a large mansion in the city.
