Around 600 NG, a cadre of Elves became enamored with the new technology known as collectively as 'firearms'. These elves sought to elevate the mundane and crass process into an elegant and magical experience. Liandri the Arcanist, an Elven mistress, lead the team of arcane craftsmen in their pursuit, crafting dozens of prototype arcane rifles over several decades, from their laboratories on Liefland. After nearly a century of magical experimentation, Liandri and her followers reached the point of viability in their research and formed a new Order: the Arcane Marksmen. A lifetime of research and testing now complete, the group transitioned into an active mercenary and adventuring party. Liandri and her Order traveled the known world, battling monsters, carving out civilization from the wilderness, defending the downtrodden, and testing their newfound skills.   As time wore on, as happens with adventurers, their numbers eventually dwindled, until finally, only Liandri herself remained. While exploring an ancient, Old World ruin in a forgotten corner of South Drak Isle, she was slain, her lifelong goal of creating an Order of Arcane Marksmen a forgotten failure.
