It also used magic to control weather to massively boost its agricukture sector. That these sorts of magics aren't more common and utilized by more peoples in the FR is likely because FR goes through so many catalysms and dark ages as well as selfish mages that are corrupt and arrogant and uninterested in sharing the benifits of their magic with the wider public. Not all rulers are forward seeing as well. Lantan is more traditionally steam punk.</blockquote>
