Firearms and their Influence in the world

With the loss of most advanced magics the world has had to develop new ways to due to combat between the tops. With this the gnome discovered gunpowder and had the first artificer Revan come up with ways to use it and in his ingenuousness, he developed some of the first firearms. These were trickled through the other races, humans took these weapons while other races wished to stick to the pseudo magics that Revan helped develop during the Gods War.
