Some musings over firearms in Atia - Overall very rarely used, as magical firepower is fairly abundant, take a rookie spellcaster who only just unlocked their magical reserves - Take a few days to teach them how to conjure and throw a bolt of fire, or force. Done diddly-do. As compared to forging a fairly advanced firearm, finding the rare minerals to create blackpowder, then instructing some rookie to not shoot their friends in the back and reload on a sensible time scale. could take half a year. Throw in some actual weapon training and formation training (which the rookie casters also need though) and it's no wonder the prefered method is to sling magic around in Atia.

There are advantages though, for a skilled gun-man to make use of exotic and unique items to enhance or enchant their projectiles and weapons...


Also there is Ihon, one of the cities in the Arm of Thorjin. Uniquely, they have a bustling dwavern coastal hold underneath, sharing the riches of the city.
