History
Although, natural Gunpowder was found inside of the bodies of Creepers, the properties of said gunpowder are too wet to be functional in any sorts of warfare, and thus, synthetic gunpowder was considered. This was first created in 564ACA by a scientist by the name of Yuan Jireion, an Aurlûnoren Human who was well known for his other inventions alongside his wife, Larcan Jae-Sailanis, a Kumiho musician and scientist. It is considered one of the most ambitious inventions of the Aurlûnor Velande. Wide-spread use of gunpowder did not come around until later on, and was seen to be used more in Fireworks and other creations by those abroad. By the turn of 365BSS, gunpowder was widely used by many nations throughout Rathnir and Eldham. Rumor has it, that Gunpowder was actually invented on Jagdas prior to it's mysterious catacylism, but this has not been confirmed.
