Generally speaking, Remorra has a typical high-fantasy technology level. For clarification, here are some specifics on questionable technology:


Gunpowder

Gunpowder does exist, for these uses:

  • Cannons - cannons are very rarely seen, other than on some naval ships of the world's largest kingdoms.
  • Fireworks - very common for celebrations
  • Dynamite - is used as a tool for mining, but only by large mining operations. People don't really associate its power with combat, however goblin hand grenades do exist.

Handguns and rifles do not exist, except in extremely rare cases, like maybe an end campaign boss pirate or something similarly powerful.


Navigation

Compasses do not exist. Navigation is done by using the stars, major landmarks, or magic scrying.
Like cannons, spyglasses only exist in well-financed nautical fleets. There are no binoculars.


Printing

Printing presses do not exist.
All printing is done using the wood block printing method. (Carve a piece of wood in reverse, roll ink onto it, press it onto paper.)


Unique Technology

Lantern Shield

For those with a need to carry a shield, weapon, and torch, the lack of a third arm meant abandoning one in favor of the other two. The answer to this was a shield that included a lantern, allowing one device to function as both light source and protection. The lantern shield was thus born. It hails from Tinkettle, the Halfling/Gnome city of invention in Mivdencatch.
