steampunk idea
It’s the 1890s and PCs are agents of His Imperial Majesty, Menelik I. The Emperor is desperate for new weapons which might hold the balance of local rasses, but cannot move publicly without inviting Italian expansionism. When the Emperor’s chief engineer turns up half eaten by hyenas, are the culprits a rebellious Ras, the Italians, the British, or shapechangers hidden in Ethiopia’s persecuted Jewish population? Do the engineer’s last airship plans still exist - and if so, where?
