Technology vs. Magic
For ages, magic users have dominated the lands around Lunopolis. Few people people could unravel the mysteries of the magical arts and those that could often use it for their own personal gain. Those who didn't often secluded themselves away from the world and the troubles of men. This all changed when Lorin Hendalcroft discovered steam power and the cannon.

Battle at the Factory
After word of Hendalcroft's first cannon test spread, the Lunari became worried they might lose control of their villages and decided that Hendalcroft must be put in his place. They attacked Hendalcroft's main factory. However, Hendalcroft was expecting this and set a trap. The attacking wizards were all killed in the resulting battle ending with Hendalcroft blowing up his own factory. After the battle, word spread like wild fire that you didn't need to be magical to stand up to magic. Hendalcroft's business exploded with everyone wanting a cannon or one of his other inventions. The average non magic user now felt like they could stand up to magic users. Wizards through out the country were thrown out of towns regardless if they were good or evil. Non magic users didn't want them around. Some magic users fought this and there were many scouffles. However, with Handalcroft's cannons nearly everywhere most wizards just left for exile.

Current Differences
Many years have passed since the destruction of Hendalcroft's factory and steam power has spread throughout the world. Villages have grown into towns into cities using steam. However, magical folk are still not welcome in most civilized areas. So, people with magical abilities will do their best to hide this if they choose to enter a large population center.

Most magic uses stay away from the cities and towns in the hopes of being left alone. Many hold a great deal of resentment towards technology as technology quickly is becoming more advanced than them.

The everyday person still knows what magic is but for most it doesn't concern them.
