in the ancheint empire of dontallion, they had an increadble mastery over technology.
some of that has been lost since that time, other parts of it had remained around.
i will go over parts of it that i am working on.
the Iron lichs, humans that used the machiens that they created to add to there own bodies, and sustian there bodies even beyond there normal life spans. this was only done a very times and even then by the most powerful technologists.
Mechnical Warrior
in DnD teams it is a prestige class that is a figher based class that centers around adding various parts of technology to there own bodies to strengthen themselves and to preform various tricks with what they put on there bodies.
Firearms
i am thinking about useing dans firearms system of corse with a few changes to it to make it fit with what i need of it. such as a little less costly, and probbly make the ammunition, and the weapon itself non-enchantable.
Crystals
there will be various crystals that perform various functions in dontallion Devices, everything form powering it to requlateing power flowing to decives or to activete the power that is flwoing to devices. the Dontallion were masters of this art of makeing crystals that did these things. and they power some of there devies still otday.
fey had a suggestion that the power ones were charged by lightning, and i like that idea! so there is where they get there electricity.
these are some of the technologies that would still be around in smaller numbers today.
others include giant weather machiense that never worked to the satisfaction of there makers but were still an atempt at bending the weather to there will.
one that is still around today ( albeit it without the crystals powering it) that was constructed between towers in the area called "the dead empire" that would open a hole to another reality and allow things ( big things, or many smaller things) to come threw. this was the device that ended up destroying there already wonded empire as things poured out of the gate and started to raverage the sorrunding city.
in fact it is agood idea for me to give you the story about how there empire ended for future referance...
The dontallion empire was at war with the Goetia Empire. Dontallion is technology, Goetia is Magic.
eather way the war had them both decimated pretty bad. so the Dontallion decided they would use the gate system to bring help from the outser planes, they even had technology set up to try to mind controll these things as the cam threw the gate.
the gate worked jsut fine, but the mind controll didnt. they were destroied by these things that they summoned. in a last move, the technologists of the city used the expermental weather machine to influance the weather around the area ( now refered to as the dead empire) to keep the creatures that were destroying them inside. obviously it worked, but dontallion was destroied.
