Mytholith

[Steerpike]

Thanks!  The Wendigo increasing in size with each person they eat is take from a genuine myth about them, so I can't take credit for that.

Everything I write ends up being horror...

EDIT: added some brief bits on geography and technology to the first post.  Basically stuff that current-day scientists and anthropologists love to speculate about - the Baghdad battery, Archimedes' burning mirrors, the Antikythera Mechanism, etc - are all present in one form or another and have been considerably refined, in the same way that steampunk settings often posit refined difference engines and the like.
