A fantasy world of sorts drawing inspiration from all sorts of places!
Magic is an every day occurrence in most places around Inord'Un and many countries appoint state sponsored wizards, sorcerers, or other wielders of the arcane to assist in many fields including, but not limited to, construction, defense and scrying. As such, technology lags behind in progress and is largely dependent on magic, itself. Recently, sharp minds have been constructing fascinating devices and discovering new and powerful alchemical techniques and recipes, including the startlingly loud black powder.
