Horseless Carriage

Written by Pookas Kreations

This vehicle has the classic look of a carriage or wagon but has an ornately carved wooden box mounted in front of the first axle. A small magitech engine propels and controls this vehicle. There is a small control panel in front of the driver's seat, it controls the speed, direction, brakes, etc.    There are various models of this vehicle now being made by Volton Galvan Grimnir, an Earth Dwarf from Terranus. He made various other models:
  • CV Dune Strider: passenger sand skiff, is for travelling vast deserts. It travels low to the ground with a wide base for stability on shifting sands.
  • CA Ironclad: armored, enclosed cargo wagon. It is built for safety and protection for travel in dangerous lands. It has narrow windows with armored shutters.
  • RC Quicksilver: racing trap, this is a small, two-wheeled cart. It has a minimalistic design with a lightweight frame and is commonly used for racing. 
  • Spark: based on the Morgan touring car. This has a sleek body, an open cockpit, and exposed wheels, only 1-2 people can fit. A lightweight canvas top can be installed for shelter from rain or sun. 
  • MC Motorcycle: singe-rider, motorcycle vehicle.
  The owned vehicle can be specially made or can be converted from an older vehicle. The bonus to not having horses is that you don't have to take care of them. The cost of the magitech device is high upfront but over time, it can be cheaper as long as you keep the batteries charged.  Grimnir's Spellwayn Designation System (GSDS): 
  • GS: stands for Grimnir Spellwain, naming the inventor and the magical nature of the vehicle.
Class Prefix: this signifies the core function of the Spellwain.
  • CV (carriage volans): passenger carriages for leisure or travel (spark)
  • CC (carriage carga): cargo carriages for transporting goods (lumberjack)
  • RC (racing carriage) Spellwains specifically designed for racing (quicksilver)
  • MC (racing carriage): single-rider Spellwains (wind reaver)
  • AC  (armored carriage): this can include any kind of Spellwain, with armor added
  Some of the drivers of these vehicles have become careless, causing accidents, driving recklessly, being rude, driving fast, and being loud to others on the road. Many are making complaints to the relevant authorities.
