Technology
  • Machinations

  • Anything regarded as newer technology is often nicknamed "nova"; sometimes nova warrant some kind of training before use, such as vectors. Those who create nova are engineers though often call themselves machinors, but true archaic machinors themselves are rare. Now-a-days it's a common hobby to create trinkets and machines such as vehicles, but anything that can function independently on its own could be labelled a crime.

    Machinations
    Aeriform / Wire
    These radiotelegraph-like lines, sometimes archaically referred to as the wire, are mostly used in messaging and relaying information. Direct terminal wiring died out once glance became the preferred powering method. Devices made to access the aeriform like wattkin allows users to preform actions like record/save any wire messages, project a direct broadcast, move ransferable data through cartouches, post local bulletins, et cetera. When wattkins became more mobile this allowed nova creators to make it possible to link them with older grounded aeriform stations already in place in most sovereignties to quickly upgrade them.
    Espiers
    Espiers are how they refer to watchables from the aeriform, the ultimate time killer.
    Cartouche
    Bridging the gap between most devices is the keypunch cartridge known as the cartouche. It is a multi-use aperture card used for, among other things, identification, banking, agenda, moving and/or storing information, and securing locks—if you really want to ditch more traditional keys anyway. It is a solid rectangular form of metal that is inserted into larger machines for access. Security for the cartouche varies depending on manufacturer and the commissioner, as the majority are custom made for the owner.

    Light Echo
    Hard light technology created by the Len and updated with the assistance of the Nova guild. Used as prosthesis it mimics the user's original limb and functions as it once did. Given how expensive it is to own it is not widely distributed.

    Pylon (v9.33.0)
    Roadside beacons used to mark roads and lit with scintillon, a gemstone that glows a pleasant green. They remain off till the sensors detect an object and will light several more along the path. Improving the reaction to aeon and the interaction between pylons has led to many updates, older neglected roads still using previous versions.

    Vector
    For going from point a to point b without having to use your own legs or wings, or the legs or wings of another creature you happen to own. Those who actively participate in using these vehicles are notoriously chaotic with their toys and are often disliked by those who prefer the more traditional modes of transport. A more favourable form of transportation amongst the masses is atrens.

    Vehement, Major/Minor variants

    Atren
    Locomotives, trams; any track-based vechicle to move people and things. Travelling on atrens are currently the most popular way to travel across Umeon, as most atrens are equipped with security that can deal with disturbances. They are also modestly priced to board, atren engines are simple and cost effective to construct, relying almost entirely on the specialised tracks to power them. These tracks are what the Eithelat would refer to as "worthless" in the sense that the metal and mineral used are extremely common and no one would be tempted to heist pieces.
    Wattkin
    A computer-like typewriter filing system device recovered from plans epochs prior, which lasted another epoch before reworks were done in more recent times by Nova. This bland contraption used to run on something similar to punch cards making it only good for simple filing. They now run in tandem with the aeriform services for increased file taking and storage. Since they have improved and have become smaller and more portable these mobile wattkins are often nicknamed "spell books".
    Wand
    A pen used on mobile aeriform devices like wattkins. They act similar to a scope probe in that they are able to send information to the wattkin screen when waved around or when poked into things. Wands make using the screens of wattkins a lot simpler.

    Relics
    Ancient technology enveloped by heka.

    Hands of Time
    Sovereignties have passed these weapons around for ages, and continue to do so, but all information about these weapons were lost by the time they were given to the Keepers of Ancestral Hearts, which were then entrusted to its best khe'heb'ka. Each weapon is reminiscent of clock hands, are pure black, and represent hours of the day. These weapons also hold properties that imbue their holders.
