However, a black market of firearms trade has sprung up, and pirates of The Revelry and agents of the Myriad crime syndicate are commonly seen using and trading guns as well. ![]() They are primarily used by the Righteous Brand, the Dwendalian military, as well as the navy of the Clovis Concord, the Shore Wardens. īy 835 PD, guns are somewhat common in Wildemount but are not sold for civilian use. In 825 PD, the designs for these guns made their way inland to the Dwendalian Empire, where the city of Hupperdook produces them for use by the Righteous Brand. Firearms were mass produced and made more reliable, and large guns known as cannons would be created to defend ships at sea and mounted to create siege engines. There, tinkerers made incredible advancement in black powder technology. Later use įirearms and black powder would eventually make their way to the Concordian city of Port Zoon, on the Menagerie Coast of Wildemount. Percy, recognizing that he could no longer prevent the spread of the weapon he created, outfitted a number of guards in Whitestone with the confiscated firearms and trained them in their use, creating the Whitestone Rifle Corps. While Ripley and her associate gunslingers were killed and their weapons confiscated by Vox Machina, the damage was done and the seed of firearm usage was spread across Exandria. While she kept some for use by her associates, she sold a number of them in Vasselheim and Ank'Harel, as well as the schematics to produce more. She also manufactured a number of guns, both revolvers and muskets. Through this deal she created her own pepperbox named Animus. Ripley escaped from Vox Machina and eventually made her way to Vasselheim, where she also encountered Victor and purchased a large amount of black powder.ĭuring the Chroma Crisis, Ripley made a deal with Orthax, who desired revenge after being spurned by Percy during the Whitestone Rebellion. Percy confiscated Ripley's revolver, which he would use and name Retort after The List was destroyed by Scanlan Shorthalt. Percy and Vox Machina encountered Ripley in the dungeon of Whitestone Castle during the Whitestone Rebellion. Initial spread īy 810 PD, Anna Ripley had created her own gun, a four shot revolver with only a single barrel, though the experimentation with creating black powder would cost her an arm. He was overjoyed to learn that Percy had another use for black powder and was looking to purchase some from him. He had discovered that the substance had explosive results and was using it for the purposes of blast mining. In the city of Vasselheim, an eccentric man named Victor independently invented black powder. Percy recognized the danger of the weapons he created, and when he was done adventuring with Vox Machina, planned to have his guns and the schematics to create them destroyed. Percy would later build a second firearm, this time a powerful, single shot musket. Meanwhile, Ripley became obsessed with the weapon that Percy had created, and set about creating a replica, having studied the weapon while Percy was imprisoned and using eye-witness accounts of the weapon across Vox Machina's adventures. He failed to do so, and was imprisoned by her in Jorenn Village, where he was later found by the adventuring party Vox Machina, whom he joined. Percy attempted to use this gun to kill one of the conspirators that worked with the Briarwoods, a woman named Doctor Anna Ripley. Percy would also invent the propellant necessary to fire the bullets from the gun, known as black powder. The sidearm he created from it would be known as The List. When he awoke, he set about creating his first gun, a device with six revolving chambers that he called a pepperbox. ![]() Percy, believing the dream to be nothing more than that, accepted the bargain. Around the year 807 PD, two years after the Briarwoods invaded Whitestone and killed Percy's family, he had a dream in which a shadowy creature, a demon named Orthax, offered him a means to enact revenge. The first known gun created in Exandria was created by Percival de Rolo. Individuals that are skilled in the use of firearms are called gunslingers. Firearms are a recent invention in Exandria, having been created in 807 PD, and have only just begun to reach widespread use by 835 PD. įirearms, also called guns, are ranged weapons that fire a projectile from a barrel at high speeds using black powder.
