SKYBARGES
The popular skybarges were invented in the Qova Nations nearly twenty eight years ago by a half elf named Orym Ruehar. By expanding on the windsail design and adding science to what magic could not achieve, skybarges were born with relative ease. Capable of travelling twice as far and carrying more than the average seven-passenger windsail, skybarges have quickly become the go-to option for deliveries and good services. The boost in the tourist economy across the Three Known Lands has increased exponentially.

For most skybarge construction, theurgists, alchemists, and natural elementals come together to design each ship before the first tree is even cut. Magic plays a factor long before technology, and creates the seal needed to keep the heavy ship in the clouds. Theurgists and natural elementals usually take care of the magical necessities, while alchemist's forge the needed technological parts.



WINDSAILS
When windsails were created, nearly two hundred years ago, they revolutionized RoNaan’s Realm. Many incarnations have been created throughout it’s existence, but the concept has stayed the same throughout the centuries: compact, small-loading, fast and reliable transportation. With the right pilot, a properly built and maintained windsail is capable of outlasting the strongest of storms. Even the fanciest of windsails have no more than four rooms below deck and should carry no more than nine passengers.



FIRESEED
Fireseed is a tricky subject and one that tends to invigorate conversations. The discovery of fireseed was made by the Peygawi elves fifty years ago. To buy their freedom (and protection) from Rezamere, the Peygawi shared their findings with Kingsport and struck a deal that is still in effect to this day. Grateful, Kingsport freed their northern allies from subjugation and received a vital weapon in subduing their eastern enemies. Fireseed is used in almost every aspect as black powder and is created almost identically. Besides guns (mainly pistols and long rifles) certain kinds of artillery have been invented and introduced.



GROUNDRAILS AND SKYRAILS
First found within Kingsport and Athaneos, these rail-based transportation systems have alleviated the need for horse drawn carriages and the waste they produce. A joint venture, invented by a citizen of both countries I mentioned above, became the solidifying factor in their long-standing alliance. Groundrails are similar to our railroads except they are run by way of Natural Elements and imbued mechanical parts. Despite being called skyrails, they actually run on a type of wire and every gondola-like box is spelled to be light-as-air by Air Elementals.



RONAAN STONES
RoNaan Stones are certain minerals and crystals that are mined from the earth that are capable of storing raw magical energy. Anyone can “charge” a stone, but a charged stone can only have it’s energy tapped by a person of the same attunement. Certain minerals and crystals are better used by different elements. RoNaan Stones are handy for one popular reason: although it’s not refilling the entirety of one’s Fluentia (and therefore their magic) it’s giving them an opportunity to use stored-energy to tap into and draw from when their internal stores are empty.



ENDLESS LIGHT
Endless Light are crystals spelled to hold light. They can be “programmed” to be bright as day or as dim as a candle. They’re created when a theurgist “programs” the crystal and a Fire Mage channels their magic into said crystal. Endless Light is relatively inexpensive and most households will have a few crystals throughout their homes. Some newer crystals have been created and spelled to shine different colors. Currently, theurgists are searching for a way to program crystals to be both bright as day and dim as a candle.
