Limpet Flintlock
The first firearm to be created was done by Barnacle Enioth in the year 95. The initial designs were given to Hilda Eliwyn who profited greatly by selling it off to the residents of the Slande Archipelago for an exceptionally high fee.
Named the Limpet Flintlock by Barnacle as a joke for the similarity to his name.
Being metal devices capable of propelling metal objects faster than the speed of sound — were something that could break through nearly any set of armour or magical fortification, and can be wielded by mostly anyone without any formal training making them a prized possession among pirates.
The only drawback was their difficulty to manufacture in bulk, making them limited to nobles, the odd adventurer and a handful of lucky thugs. A mistake in the design of the barrel or firing pin could cause catastrophic and deadly effects.
Utility
Long-range combat to pierce heavy armour.
Access & Availability
The access to it is limited heavily by the ammunition not being sold legally for most of the years after it came out.
Discovery
After long development of the canon Barnacle managed to reduce the size and feature the correct size and systom for it to become the well known firearm.
