Gnomastra (City)

History

In 4720, tensions between the Gnomes and the Mages Guild's rose to a tipping point and the Guild placed a magic embargo on Gnomastra until the small nation would allow the Guild to "guide" gnomish adepts to their academy. Famously, the Gnomes defied such actions and decided to double-down on steam engine development to do the things in the land that magic once handled. This increased the demand and use of coal in the nation with both positive and negative effects.
The Gnomes learned that through technology they could keep their standard of living and not have to give their people up to the Mage's guild. However relying on coal meant dirty coal mines and rampant pollution. Once a gleaming city, Gnomastra is now a dirty, dark, smoggy place. Many in and around the city suffer from respiratory problems like asthma and pneumonia. This alone has started an emigration movement from Gnomastra among those who want to live healthier lives and get away from the smog.
