Technology Guidelines
Technology shapes our world and keeps stories believable. Our guidelines define what’s possible within Alathra’s lore. All technology must fit within Alathra’s timeline, from the 5th century to the late 1700s. Castles, villages, swords, bows, and early gunpowder weapons are welcome. Light Steampunk brings extra elements such as - gears, clockwork, steam engines, and air balloons. However, advanced or modern technologies are not allowed here. No nuclear power, submarines, airships, trains or sci-fi tech.
