In a bustling steampunk city, towering clockwork structures rise majestically against a twilight sky, their intricate bronze gears and pipes glimmering with the glow of gas lamps. Airships drift lazily above, while steam billows from chimneys, creating a haze that softens the warm hues of the sunset. Cobblestone streets alive with curious onlookers explore fantastical inventions and vibrant markets, all under the watchful eyes of ornate mechanical sentinels.
