Gunpowder Invented

Technological achievement

Ezibul Kingdom in Southern Nevvalair harnesses gunpowder in tradable quantities.

Holy Royal Alchemists in the Kingdom of Ezibul invent gunpowder. Although the chemicals used to make it up were known for quite some time, it was this year when they were combined to make the explosive. The same year simplistic firearms were developed and the substance was traded to other kingdoms. Although, Vytali's Era began before a true gunpowder market could be established, and the substance by no means took the world by storm. With Acron being Ezibul's largest trade partner and undergoing her revolution, the market stagnated and the excess gunpowder produced for sale declined in price. The general public of Ezibul bought it up, using it in fireworks and such fanfare, while the monarchy used it for defense, peacekeeping, and ceremony. Gunpowder became so ingrained in the culture of Ezibul that when Acron started asking for it again, it was being bought out by the royal family and the citizens in long standing trade agreements before much was left to give the already rare and hard to produce substance to foreign partners. However, in the Modern Era, some trade ensued, and the substance was also reinvented in other parts of the world, and gunpowder can now be found all over Craedock, although its price and rarity limits its use to the larger and more powerful organizations outside of Ezibul.
