Firearms

Firearms were invented by a House Cannith member in 761. The technology, though powerful, didn't gain steam until the Last War. The firearms industry began during the early years of the Last War with breakthroughs in gunpowder and construction made by House Cannith and a gnome partner. Now, the firearm industry is a million-crown industry with various makes and models.

Gun Makes and Models

Rake & Cannith

"Dragonmark made guns since 761". Rake & Cannith is the premiere firearm manufacturer on Khorvaire. Originating with House Cannith, each gun is reported to be made "by Dragonmarked hands", though in the current factory settings where these are made, this is more than likely just marketing. These guns are infused with arcane energy that give the guns special benefits. Because of this, they do not have the misfire property. They are also the most expensive guns on the market and are reserved for only the richest citizens and royalty.
