This looks great, like a final iteration of a couple ideas. I would be interested in playing a vassal state (possibly just a city-state with a variety of races) of the  [@gorgenmast]Salished Empire, industrious, concerned with guarding its growing ichor refinery operations. As a plot point, I'd like to have a power-hungry beastkin warlock stealing ichor from the city or something to that end. A few questions:

 1. Could we have some examples of archaeo-tech? Are these massive machines or more like small devices? I definitely want to make use of them, just need a jumping-off point. 
 2. What themes are we looking at? Is this political driven or more like a series of stories to work into one narrative? 
 3. That map is sweet. Who made it and is the Dread Sea that large body of water to the West?
