The Brass & Ivy Ballroom of Forgotten Time A steampunk botanical ballroom frozen in time, where the remnants of a bygone Victorian age are slowly being reclaimed by nature. Towering riveted copper columns, wrapped in vines and delicate white roses, support a massive, stained-glass ceiling, where intricate clockwork mechanisms slowly turn, controlling light-diffusing panels that shift with the sun. The floor is a black-and-gold inlaid mosaic, half-covered in overgrown moss and scattered petals. In the center, a massive bronze clock lies tilted and forgotten, its gears still slowly ticking as ivy snakes through its mechanisms. Plush deep green velvet chaises and clawfoot chairs are arranged around low brass tables, their surfaces cluttered with Victorian trinkets, magnifying glasses, and old maps of lost airship routes. Hanging Edison bulbs encased in glass orbs float like fireflies, casting a warm glow over antique bookshelves overtaken by climbing vines. A giant, steam-powered organ, its pipes covered in creeping ivy, occasionally releases a low hum as hidden gears grind beneath the ballroom floor. The scent of aged parchment, oil, and damp earth fills the air, creating an ambiance of melancholic beauty and forgotten grandeur.
