The Steam House

Intro (A FanFic AU based on the works of Jules Verne.) It’s 1857 and India is in political turmoil. Prince Dakkar, son of the Raj of Bundelkhand tried to lead an uprising against the subcontinent’s colonizers, but tragically lost his parents, wife and children in the conflict. Driven by grief but unwilling to give up the fight, he has plans to gather his supporters, travel to a remote island and build a submarine called “The Nautilus” which can be used both as a refuge from mankind’s atrocities and as a war machine against the enemy’s navy. He hoped to find an ally in Nana Saheb, but found “The Demon of Cawnpore” to be inhumane and willing to attack civilians. Prince Dakkar is going by “Captain Nemo,” Nemo being Latin for “no one.” He’s drawn up plans for a steam-powered mechanical elephant which can be used as a mode of transportation as well as a sort of military tank as they make their dangerous trek to freedom. He fears his plans being found out and used for evil.
