Caissius vs. Ghranda

In 3500, advances in technology began to rise steadily. In only a few years, mechanical weaponry began development led by Caissius, son of Archmage Ghranda. Enraged by the prospect of tinkering with the taboo, Ghranda banished his own flesh and blood to the Isles of Abandon. For 15 years, Caissius toiled in the strange realm. He spent every waking moment developing blueprints for interdimensional travel, and at last, his project was complete. Using only what he had been teleported with, and with what little the unfamiliar dimension had to offer, Caissius was able to forge a handheld interdimensional teleportation device able to displace the atmosphere of both the user, and the location of teleport. Coming back to his homeland after banishment had bewildered even the most prodigal of mages; none had ever successfully returned to Aznerathe from the Isles of Abandon. Caissius's reappearance had sparked interest in technology from many mages outside of the magic capitol. Without intention, Caissius had sparked the first revolution against Aznerathe.
