Acridon

When the first gun was invented in Penzavie, no one understood it's power. The belief the inventor held in their creation was so strong, that when the first gun was fired, a powerful spiritual burst rung out. This first shot birthed Acridon, the Gun God.

Imprisonment
Several years later, the Spell Wardens captured an imprisoned Acridon, halting progress on firearms as best they could. Several times, other inventors have created firearms and been hunted down or isolated so that the Spell Wardens can help the world avoid mechanical progress.

Influence
Many times, Acridon has extended their conscience from their cell and informed young and brilliant minds of firearms and given them the first thoughts of how to make them.

Shump Slayer, the Orc Sniper, was one such individual.
