Firearms in Arlyss

Firearms have largely replaced bows and crossbows in Sydonia in the last 100 years, though their cost is still prohibitive to the commoners of Sydonia who still hunt with traditional bows. Though less commonplace in the marble isle, firearms have become the favored ranged weapon of pirates who prowl the sapphire sea (often packing a blunderbuss with metal scrap when low on ammunition). Firearms are also in heavy use among the Dwarves of Kal'Ein, and the salpetre mines of the north enforce Sydonian reliance on trade with the Dwarves of the world's end mountains.
