Technology

Overview

The basic technology available to the general population is equivalent to that available on earth in the late middle ages or early renaissance. Some more sophisticated, possibly magical items of are available to the wealthy few at a high price from the secretive guild known as the The Academy Of Knowledge, who jealously guard the secret of making these things. It is rumoured that even they don't understand the principles by which many of their devices work. Characters may also encounter strange and powerful ancient artefacts dating from the First Empire.

Swords and knives are the most common weapons. Cheap and average weapons tend to be made of steel, while fine and very fine weapons are usually made of vyrn.
