Steam Power
Steam was first harvested over 20,000 years ago and then, in turn, used to create many inventions like Steam Power. However, the Chamberlains of Lockgear and the Bregritopia Empire have keep a very tight control on this technology as well as many others.
There are several kinds of steam power generators out there. The main components of the turbine and steam chamber are relatively the same in all models. The heating element is the significant difference between them. The main kinds of heat used are lava, magic, and fire. The most common of them is the lava ones found throughout the Rocking Sea region and any other area that is geologically active with magma.

Utility
Steam has become one of the most versatile tools that the Volognomes use. They have used it to generate power, weapons, transportation, and even life (Machine Men). Learning all they could about steam has allowed them to reverse the process with Water Condensing Refineries. Allowing them to even beat nature.
Social Impact
The advent of steam power allowed the Volognomes to thrive and prosper unlike any species before or after.
Access & Availability
Outside of the Fiery Isles and the Rocking Sea's coastline steam power is not commonly found. Over the past few milenia the Bregritopia Empire has been bringing this as well as many other technological marvels to the rest of the empire's more prestigious cities.
Discovery
Starting with Harnessing of Steam the Volognomes have been at the forefront of this science.
In 2545 AC Quickspring the Inventor tested the first steam engine

The basic principle is to place a plug into a barrel, add a projectile, and then pump steam into a chamber behind the plug. Once the desired pressure is reached, you release the lock on the plug, allowing the built-up pressure to fire the projectile. You need a lot of steam to build the required force to fling items through the air and do damage. This has made the realm of these Firearms left to generally very large vehicles and buildings. There are a few smaller weapons, but with the choice of easier propulsion available there is not much demand for these.
