Automatons

As the Empire developed a wider sense of peace and security travel became more common. However, with the advancement of Rune Magic, and the inherent risk of the increasing number of Fleas in the wilds, the means of travel changed. Runes imbued with ley-line energy act as power sources for mechanical wagons. These are commonly referred to as Iron spiders due to their design. Most of these machines sport a passenger wagon with a number of protruding legs from the sides.

Iron Spiders are extremely expensive creations due to the complex craftsmanship required, and the Rune Magic skills required to create their power sources. Unfortunately, because of this, only the most wealthy can afford the best models.
