Hey
@TheEdVerse
, I wanted to ask you something about the Celtic gods today, but this peculiarity from “Grand History of the Realms” caught my eye.
The Lantanese wouldn’t learn the secrets of smokepowder from Gond for another hundred years, so this seems impossible to me…2.) A case of wrong date, interaction with a Spelljammer, or just something similar to a bombard?

And while we are on the topic of smokepowder, could Shou Lung have developed something like the Ming dynasty's San Yan Chong? It is a Renaissance-era firearm after all. pic.twitter.com/4prNoN8CEN

So many lives lost in the name of innovation! I sure hope the Lantanese erected some kind of memorial for all those foolhardy artificers lost to gunpowder. In every temple to Gond, there's a low plinth in a side alcove upon which rests (only) a pair of scorched shoes, facing the main altar (that's deeper in the temple). It's a memorial to all artificers who paid the price of progress.#Realmslore
