Train

"Have you tried the new, what are they called now again...? Trains, yes, trains! They seem awfully unreliable and unnecessary. My carriage will do just fine, and in that I can actually choose where to go and not be bound by some tracks."

"It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The wagon was not much faster than my dear Susie when she's trotting, but at least we don't have to stop as frequently. I do miss the privacy of my own carriage, they'll let just about anyone with money step aboard."

These new machines are made to carry passengers in between two points, with a much bigger capacity and higher speeds than normal horse drawn carriages. The trains have introduced a bigger sense of freedom since they were made available. They are much faster than the carriages, and does not require the same kind of maintenance as a horse, cutting down the frequency and length of necessary breaks on the trip. We are yet to find out how far we can take the trains, but that is for the future to show.

This novelty is available to all, but only those with money can pay for the tickets; the prices are higher than what most commoners are willing and able to spend.

Power Generation

The trains are powered by a magitech engine, which uses the magical web of the world to pull itself along the train tracks. So far, the tracks are built in places where the magical web is thicker, making travel easier, but magitechs are working on expanding the tracks to less stable areas. This would make it more accessible and useful.
