Message: <blockquote data-quote="nevin" data-source="post: 9854174" data-attributes="member: 7024481">In WaterDeep an elven exile from Evereska and a Dwarf from Mithril halls have developed a power source (think tesla broadcast energy through the air) using a very dangerous ore and elven magics to create a magical energy source that can be used to bring "magic" (think electricity) to the masses.  Items that run off of the power source are cheaper to make and can be mass produced but only work in the area that the generator provide power too.  WaterDeep has implemented this power city wide to power it's new MagicPunk style defense system on the outer walls.    (now the rich and middle class can have magical golems that clean, light spells, magical fans that cool and heat the air they move etc)Magickpunk weapons have begun to filter down to the rich and upper middle class.  Magical FireArms that fire bullets with far less magical power than it takes to cast a fireball .   This new style of weaponry along with Longer range Arbalists and Magickpunk Cannons have begun to replace lower to mid level magic users and now thier best job opportunities are in factories making these weapons.    Rich Cities like Waterdeep calimpor, Evereska and others are now in a magical arms and defense race as magical technology has taken off.    Some cities have taken other paths and and done things that focus more on summoning, Lycanthropy, and enslaving large beasts and modifying them with magical armor and enhancing them with magical and alchemical processes to become tough enough to face these new modern weapons.gnomish entrepreneurs have figured out how to combine magical preservation techniques with the old fashioned ones and have begun to create foodstuffs that will survive longer so that they can be stored for sieges and be shipped in fresher state to further away places.The wizards of Thay have begun secretly through a trading house that seems to be connected to WaterDeep selling Golems for defense, house cleaning etc that are really Vessels for souls they have captured and enslaved.  The plan being to spread enough of them throughout modern cities then use them as the 5th column when they attack a city.</blockquote>
