Wagons

There are few inventions that reach the widespread use by so many different people from various walks of life as the wagon. From the husky caravans and the Estoyan Expeditions to the everyday life of many people is every nation, the wagon serves as a symbol of exploration and freedom as well as hardship.

The first wagons were created by one of the more unlikely races. The races that make up the greenskins crafted poorly made carts pulled by various creatures for travel, warfare, and transporting goods. The wagons were known to be inefficient and lacked the kind of sophisticated design and durability of present day variants.

The wheels were often unevenly cut causing constant turbulence while it is moving. According to legend, The Alfen created a facsimile of the wagon shortly after the greenskins in the form of war wagons. These wagons were armed with Alfen Lances and hovered over the ground. The art of creating them was lost to time until inventors in Estoya rekindled the craft. They created fourteen war wagons in total, and each are still in use.



Dwarven Wagons


The Dwarves have their own version of the wagon. Their version was much more suited for a consistent and efficient flow of production.
The wagons were designed to work on tracks or rails, taking advantage of gravity and complex mechanical systems such as pulleys and springs to move from one place to another.
These styles would persist, the humans eventually adopting the green-skin variant. It wasn't until these cultures began to merge that new styles would be invented.
