The broken gear

Set in the early 1900s, we follow Thomas Henderforth, a relatively kind noble as well as a skilled warrior born in England Minor. He gets sent to Switzerland to protect one of the 8 gears that controls a positive aspect of humanity. He then encounters a One and with her help, tries to stop the Wing of Chaos from destroying all 8 gears, while facing off against other enemies as well.

This world is technologically and magically advanced and has similar geography to ours. There will be a bit of alternate history along with alternate nations, multiple Gods and Ones who reject the title of God and has 8 gears that each represent a positive aspect of humanity.

Might contain some references to @sauce_boi_420's story.
