Arcanite Technology
Based around the arcane crystal for which it is named, Arcanite Technology is the catch-all term used for the various technologies created by those who lived within the ten great sky-cities that crashed into Ceren half an millennia ago. Being magical in nature, all forms of this technology require a basic understanding of arcane magic and ample amounts of magical power, both of which are in ready supply in the region of Ceruleon. This article will be fairly lax, as each individual technology will have it's own, more in-depth, article.
Manufacturing
Almost all arcanite tech is made by reverse engineering the various arcane trinkets recovered from the sky-city ruins. The various artificer guilds of Ceruleon keep the secrets to manufacturing and maintaining this tech to themselves, to ensure they have a monopoly over the entire production.

Access & Availability
The vast majority of arcanite technology is found in Ceruleon, as it is from here that scavengers recover the artifacts and relics modern-day artificers use to reverse-engineer the technology. However, honest trade and illegal smuggling has spread small pockets of arcanite technology across the entire world.
Complexity
Arcanite technology is incredibly advanced, with even the most basic user usually requiring mastery in magical theory, tinkering, and alchemical studies. This is primary reason why Ceruleon is the prime location for arcanite tech, as no other regions or civilizations have enough funding or resources to effectively recover and reproduce the technology.
Discovery
While it's known the Citans were the original creators of arcanite technology, little is known regarding how or when they developed it. Estimates range from only a few centuries before le Rage Cielmer to near the dawn of time.
