Roughly, gunpowder bullets have been invented as early as the 400s in Galifar. By the late 800s, the weapons had evolved into six shooters and are now actually available in automatic and rapid fire capacity in the lands of Galifar.

Cross Guns replace Cross Bows in Eberron as the prevalent form of weaponry. As a simple sign of how they developed, Cross Guns reload with their Clips being shoved to the side of the weapons as opposed to being handled in revolver style format. This is purely an aethstetic choice on the part of the people of Eberron.

Cross Guns come in three different varieties.

• Hand-Held Crossguns do 1d6+1 Damage with each shot and do not require reloading except when their 8 bullet clips are exhausted.

• Light Cross-Guns are the equivalent of Rifles and inflict 3d6+1 Damage but require reloading after every shot.

• Heavy Cross-Guns are the variant of Machine Gun and do 4d6 Damage but require essentially one to have mammoth strength to hold them or be held in tripod like format.

Cross Guns can furthermore be enchanted with magical bullets or simply to have more accuracy. Almost all Cross Guns are manufactured by the Colt and Cannith Company that is based out of Breland.

Viewing Lanterns "View Lanterns"

A sort of low-grade version of a crystal ball that's somewhat easier to make. It receives one way signals and can be outfitted for two way signals. At present, Viewing Lanterns mostly exist for individuals who want to watch theater productions and hear private news broadcasts in the comfort of their own homes and other activities of the extremely wealthy. It's mostly restricted to the Aurrum, the Royalty of the Twelve Nations, The Twelve, and powerful merchant families at present. All of them must be hand crafted for audience viewing.

Cassius presented one to the people of Shadowfast for the World's Faire and also has an extra pair that he shares with Kiri and Patch.
