Gontish Arcanotech

With its people vanished and its structures in ruins, the true legacy of Gond is in the form of the mixture of science, Magic and invention that is known as arcanotech. While some people connect the remnants of arcanotech to modern Artifice, the two have very different roots. Artifice is the extension of the experimental folk magic developed after the Colossus War, but arcanotech was built from first principles based on pre- Cataclysmic understandings of the original, harmonious World. Because it relies on the lost principles of Harmony, surviving arcanotech can be erratic in the World as it is, but remains powerful and much sought after.
Gond had little or no magic, as it is currently understood. They made limited use of artifice as an adjunct to arcanotech, but the use of divine magic, Draconic Rahk-dzen or Titanic runes were forbidden. Where other cultures developed folk magic into wizardry, the Eladrin of Gond used their theoretical understanding of the prin­ciples of Dzenmisa to created the first, simple arcane machines, which in turn formed the basis of more elaborate mechanisms.
While distinct from the Titanic equivalent, the Gonts used arcane mills to convert mechanical motion into arcane energy. Small examples seem to have been wearable, generating flux from body movements. What Contish arconotech does not seem to have had is a mechanism for storing flux or arcanite. Instead, the energy converted was channelled directly into other devices for immediate use, or stored in a form of chemical battery. Other basic arcanotech components included converters for changing arcane energy into basal or mechanical, capacitors for accumulating energy, and amplifiers for redirecting it.
The signature devices of Gontish arcanotech were the constructs - sometimes known colloquially as Gontstructs - which seem to have been used for a variety of tasks, from domestic to heavy labour to defence. In the unshingly small number of intact examples, there is no evidence that any Gontstruct had the sophisticated programming of a Titanic Forgeborn, let alone any trace of sentience or sapience. The sykystra, or mind vault, that guided then was merely a supremely elegant device for holding a massively complex rubrick.
