*If the Precursors built a personal vehicle, it would be a hoverboard, or a flying saucer with a startlingly simple control scheme. The Lizardmen never seemed to have much interest in travel. If the Thracians built a vehicle, it might be a flying galleon or a monowheel vehicle (see what the protagonist rides in the recent Lorax film. Make it fancier-looking.) If the Amaranthans built a vehicle, it would be a Nightmare bound into a heavy silver ring, so that it appeared and obeyed the commands of the user when they snapped their fingers. | *If the Precursors built a personal vehicle, it would be a hoverboard, or a flying saucer with a startlingly simple control scheme.

*If the Precursors built an information system, it would be a Turing Complete AI with a soothing voice, contained in a pleasingly rounded cube one foot on a side. It would project interactive holograms without any visible means of emission. The Lizardmen would create a crystalline throne that allowed you to dream the memories of those who had sat in it before you. The Amaranthans would bind the souls of dozens of Savant-slaves into an iron-bound tome. Their thoughts would appear across the pages when questioned. The Thracians would build a clunking, roughly sapient robot or golem. | *If the Precursors built an information system, it would be a Turing Complete AI with a soothing voice, contained in a pleasingly rounded cube one foot on a side.
