Iwhute
Legend says that it was the development of this technology that finally drove off the dragons. Like all legends, there is a grain of truth in this one. More like a pebble, in truth.
The specific technological process for generating magical energy. The large number of iwhute across Argentii blanket the continent in a field of stable magical energy. It is this field that allows Technomancy to operate and therefore, Technomaniacal Contraptions that are removed from this field cease to function. Naturally, this is the reason why no one has taken an airship around the world, nor even tried to sail around the world. An airship's propulsion would cease to function, as well as any ship's ability to sustain fresh food and water for the length of such a voyage.
A bit of the lore behind iwhute, but it will also spoil the plot of upcoming fiction.
Yes, this is essentially magical 5G coverage. Iwhute -- basically a magical generator constructed of dragon bone, dragon blood, and a shard of Lost Crystal -- and the magical energy field it produces, is critical to the safety and development of dragon eggs since the ley lines were removed. Because it wasn't until after the dragons desstroyed the ley lines that they understood their connection to the dragons' own life cycle.
Complexity
The structure of an iwhute is fairly simple, though it is a closely guarded secret known only to a select few Guardians who have been carefully selected from among their peers to keep this dangerous knowledge safe.
One of these people is, of course, Shiv Moonsong, as she is the keeper of Argentii's largest and, arguably, most important iwhute located deep under Astronomy Tower at Library Inn.
