Incendia:
Incendia is a city roughly on par with 19th century London, but instead of coal and oil, the inhabitant of this city-state have learned how to tap into an elemental plane of fire. Unlike some other settings, there are no actual fire elementals or intelligences in the plane, merely an inexhaustible source of fire and heat. Using a series of "apertures", (sophisticated mechanical devices that allow safe and stable access to the fire plane), Incendians have crafted all manner of devices - from closed-circuit steam engines that can collect, condense, and reuse limited supplies of water, to more advanced but still experimental aperture-jets.
The Incendian MAD device consists of a series of high speed craft, which fly to a destination and drop special mega-aperture linking modules, which, when activated, convert the encircled area into one massive aperture and turn it on. Thus, the encircled area becomes one humongous portal to the plane of fire, and is thus consumed by the rapid influx of intense heat and flame, (not to mention the consumption of all oxygen in the local area). This fire is hit enough to boil the water at even deep sea locations, and though it consumes oxygen at the location it is set off, these otherworldly flames do not actually need oxygen to persist. These aperture modules can be self-destructed remotely, should the need arise.
