# Significant Events

* Individuals challenge and subvert stereotypes about their species and ethnic races, lessening prejudices and providing more opportunities
* Progressive (societal issues), young adult love, club/house become the popular and dominant subjects for music
* Alchemical reactors are reworked into turbine-like mana power stations which are safer and more efficient. Smaller portable gemstone stations are sold as generators for family houses.
* Stem-cell research brings medical and cosmetic advances for hospitals like spray-on skin cultures, and low rejection rates for organ transplants.
* Utility Belts become common for service based employment or in large treetop cities for movement devices like grapnel hooks
* Integration of information based technology into household and commercial settings causes it to rapidly increase; Sonfar network is set up as a way to link the information between all public databases that can be accessed by magic books or computers complete with program, hacking, and virus spells.
* A large amounts of conservation efforts are begun to counteract the effects of anthropological resource use and climate changes.
* Various ruins and artifacts from advanced ancient Lunarians are still continually being discovered.
* Marine Merfolk construct a few undersea cities for terrestrial species using reinforced glass and plastic, powered by geothermal vents.
* Electronic games become a popular form of entertainment and form of media. Magic energy speeds up the advancement of augmented reality games.
* A recently popular activity among the young and less young these days is the recreation of the classic age of guilds via dungeoneering. These large, commercial and often underground buildings attempt to recreate the dungeons of old. While the traps, weapons and monsters are benign in nature, the mood and setting are known to create a strong sense of presence. Such activities are often compared to a real life RPG.
