  • Julian Spence begins a self-study of the long-term effects of opium on the brain.[15]
  • Japan's feudal period lasts until this time.[16] As Japan industrializes, water pollution causes many native kappa to sicken and die.[17]
  • The Void Seekers have nearly completed their work, as most of the Earth has been explored.[26]

  • Two things keep the Artificers busy during this century: following up on industrial processes and the obsession with refining the previous generations of analog computers.[42]

Early 1800s[]

  • Aida-Wedo Mangum spends much of her time living and socializing with the free black and Creole society of New Orleans.[54]
  • Charles Babbage invents the first difference engine,[58][59] and later the analytical engine. Artificers appropriate one of Babbage's analytical engines and begin applying a sentience-expanding algorithm. At the χth iteration, the Computer gains sentience as a spirit of technology merges with it.[60][61]

  • Russian traders and missionaries begin invading Siberia in increasing numbers.[76]

Late 1800s[]

  • The squalor, overcrowding and disease rampant in this century cause the Masses to lose faith in technology, so they turn to spiritualism, giving the Superstitionists a big boost in the waning years of the century.[80] Awakenings increase as people grow dissatisfied with industrialism.[81][82] Among those who benefit are the Verbena's Moon-Seekers.[83]
  • A French tradesman and female samurai marry, and produce André Takahashi.[85]
