Guns For Xenograg, Part 1: Existing Lore

As prologue for a future post, a summary of existing lore:

Xenograg comes from an Iron Age civilization, but has been in Rhydin for over thirty years. He has had plenty of time to become accustomed to higher technologies—including guns. His marriage to Amaltea first introduced them to him as her homeland of Barsi has a tech level equivalent to our Napoleonic Era. Xenograg’s first gun was a flintlock pistol.

Later exposure to Stars End Spaceport and its “spacer” denizens eventually led to an upgrade. Lady Azjah’s family business, Drachen Walde Industries, includes an armaments division. She repaid a service rendered by Xenograg with the gift of a “modern-yet-retro” pistol: a six-shot 12mm revolver (slug-thrower). It has been Xenograg’s sidearm for over twenty years.

Seeing that the quest to avenge Llewys Greymantle’s death would constitute a small war, Xenograg ordered a cache of guns from Drachen Walde Industries: six crates, each containing a sonic disrupter carbine and pistol. Alas, they did not arrive in time for those battles. Only one pair has ever been taken from their crate, and solely for handling practice. Xenograg has never carried either.

The next blogpost will look at the problem of adding guns to a roleplay milieu.
