Deep within the Imperial city on a distant shore was a small group of engineer's their expertise in modifying various equipment like naval ships, primitive war machines, roads and bridges made them more curious to wards the science part of their life more than religion and the Imperial code of law.
During one modify for a battle barge a engineer by the name of Delacard mixed three various powders and then added water hoping to obtain a tar based substance.
His substance started to spit and glow a faint green and then a violent red. The formula exploded causing the engineer to remake the same formula over and over again showing his colleagues what he discovered and how it could benefit the Imperial.
During a audience with the Imperial high governors the engineers finally brought forth this new invention they called it Black powder. It is first poured into a metal tube with a very small opening at the bottom, then in goes the shot, which is beat down by a stick.
Next the firer ignites the firing platform which in turn ignites the gunpowder in the barrel, which creates great pressure behind the shot, forcing it out at great speeds
The engineers showed the governors their new technology this stirred a uproar within the chamber. The religious zealots declared this invention as the work of the devil a heresy to wards the acts of god.
The engineers were then condemned to death or to leave the Imperial state and never to return however the Imperial commender the research and massed produced the muskets and the black powder making them a truly devastating force.
The scientists and engineers were wanderers finding shelter anywhere and eating anything that they could find their hands on. Some of the engineers stayed in the Imperial and became showmen, making pranks from the black powder.
Finally the engineers set up a small shanty town and got married. After around fifty years all the original engineers and scientists were dead but their knowledge now lived on within their families and their children.
The Imperial found out about this and ordered a purge to be sent to the shanty town and destroy all of the inhabitants classing them as heretics to wards god and the greater good.
Many families fled others stayed, the people who stayed were slaughtered where they stood including children.
The people who fled took one of the last sailing boats to the land of Septrem.There the families made Ulthan.
