==Technological Advancement==
In 400, crossbows and other complex weapons had not yet been developed. Illiteracy was common. The common language then was much closer to Celestial than modern-day Common.
In the 1440s, there was a renaissance in military technology due to the Revolution of 1441. Cannons quickly became popular and were refined from finicky weapons on supercruisers to commonplace weapons found in many towns and even on some bars.
