Welcome intrepid explorers, genius scientists and skillful inventors! Welcome travelers from all countries and nations! Should you be none of the kind....well, then, ah...welcome to you anyway, whoever you may be! Welcome to the Steampunk Confederation! The world you are about to enter is a miraculous one...
First of all, allow me to briefly introduce myself: I am Hieronymos Esperi, captain of the proud and independent airship Hermès. I fancy myself to be an explorer, a researcher and a mechanic. And a decent cook, too (although my assistant Klaus tends to have a different opinion on this point...). Some ignorant and ill-humored people call me a pirate, a liar or a sky-vagabond. Well, let them talk and everyone else be his or her own judge on that matter, I say! But first and foremost I am your humble servant and teller of tales: I travel the known and unknown parts of the world in my airship and strive to discover things which no lady or gentleman has seen or heard of before. These secrets and wonders I record and report back to all who will listen to the tales of my journeys. Should you wish so, I will gladly let you partake in these adventures!
In my next letter I will tell you a little bit more about myself, my crew and my ship. Until then, I hope you all stay well and curious.
Yours truly,
Hieronymos Esperi
