Aincuggesnirviclagillipog (a.k.a. The Difference Engine)
"The Difference Engine is the pinnacle of gnomecraft. A mixture of steamworks, clockwork, geothermal, barometric, and arcano-engineering, it is possibly the most advanced machine to have ever existed. When you talk to the gnomes about it, you may get the impression that they've created a god.
"I'm not sure that they're that far off."
~Queen Palay Dawi, Thruma of Karakadaw.

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
The Difference Engine is expertly and diligently maintained.
Body Features
The Ley Node connecting three lines between the Edhekadrel and two lines over Mount Spearpoint runs through the whole of the Difference Engine's body. Mount Spearpoint has nearly been hollowed out into a series of chambers, which house the physical aspect of the machine. Pistons, flywheels, levers, arms, pipes, gears and cogs all run continuously. Most of the metal in this construction is brass, though more exotic materials are used as needed to handle the heat or stress of operation.
Special abilities
The Difference Engine can observe the universe down to the smallest particle within its sphere of perception. By examining and processing this data, it can predict the future, and through Gondsmen and communication with the other gnomes, it can make the small changes needed to alter events to its liking.
