Technological achievement
Kudamic Kudamos founds the Kudam company and begins producing Black Rock Kettles.
Black Rock, which had been discovered many years earlier, had been used until this point primarily as a heating source. A halfling inventor, Kudamic Kudamos, had been toying for years with the idea of using Black Rock to power mechanical devices. He started selling Black Rock powered kettles and founded the Kudam corporation. They became wildly popular and Kudam quickly expanded into creating other products. Before a few years, it was considered a "megacorporation," the first of its kind.
