Rowan Autumn-Arrow had just entered Riften.

-

He could see every citizen standing on the market place. from the south enterance.

"Huh, must be somthing important" he figured.

He was going to ignore the commotion but curiousity got the better of him. he had to have a look at what was happening on the market square. Trying however. since, the vast crowd hid whatever was going on at the middle of the square. Rowan pushed himself foward through the crowd. Excusing himself countless times before he eventually got a better view.

It was an Imperial salesman from the looks of it.

"That was that..."

Seems like he had just ended some sort of act.

"bummer" Rowan thought to himself but he soon had to retract that statement as the show was far from over.

"Aaand now. Another marvel from the Imperial city!"

The crowd looked intensely at the merchant. And with grand splendour he took out a strange device from his coat pocket and pointed it at the flag pole untop of the eastern tower of the town.

"With this amazing invention I will demonstrate the precision and accurateness of... the hand cannon!"

the metal cylinder shapped device made a faint clicking noise and after that a loud bang. Acompanied by a flash of light from the end, the muzzle of the gun. Before anyone could react the sound of a metal bullet hitting the pole could be heard in a distance.

The crowd applauded widely. While the merchant bowed

"As I said before true Imperial ingenuity, and... no magic! Soon all of this will be availible in all of Skyrim. And the rest of the known world!"

he stepped down his podium and approached any merchants of Riften.

"Now who's interested in these devices?"

A storm of shopkeepers started bidding prices so they could have a partnership and sell these hot new weapons and devices. Now that most of the attention was drawn away from the stae of the demonstration. Rowan could look at all the devices that had been put on display.

"let's see here"

"What's this" he asked softly to himself.

"Some sort of Lantern?"

he looked for the candle or an opening where you'd put it but there was only a switch at the side. which he did switch. As soon as he did. A faint-blue light suddelny appeared. This startled him. he then looked at what seemed to be a label or some sort of watermark. "Beaumanic power company" "BPC..."

he then turned it off and put it back.

"heh, pretty novel though..." But he then was distracted by another thing lying on the table.

Some sort of mini cart or something.

"Hey! you! hands of that's private property" a voice shouted and Rowan quickly put it back where he found it.

it was the Travelling merchant from the Imperial City. His concerning and strong voice quickly turned into a nice and smooth one.

"Oh... Sorry I lashed out. You see most of these are prototypes."

"prototypes?" Rowans asked

"Well, yes.. you know. there's only one in existance..."

"Oh..." Rowan got it now

"Everything Except the gun..." "That's already being distributed in the Imperial Legion, but I digress. I see you've found the Beaumanic powered Locomotive?"

"The Beaumanic what?" Rowan, again asked confused.

"The Beaumanic locomotive is a beaumanic powered cart that moves... without the help of horses. It's even faster then horses! Only downside is though it needs rails to work... But that's something whe're still working on"

This was all very new for Rowan. he felt hopelessly lost, even if he was in Riften. His hometown.

"i'm sorry, but what is beaumanic?"

The merchant laughed at Rowan's confusion.

"I guess word doesn't move as quickly here as it does in Cyrodiil..."

"but never mind, Beaumanic is basically pure energy. A magical essence that is constant. it's always hot. it's always dynamic it's never changing."

"And?..." Rowan still didn't get it.

"What we can do now is. Power our evry day objects with this new energy. Things like Lamps and lanterns or Carts... Or like I showed earlier this gun."

he showed the gun infront of Rowan's face

"It uses metal bullets. very hard to come by but they start to get around. Anyways. it uses bullets that are propelled by this Beaumanic powered spring"

he got out the little cartridge. where said pwoer was housed

"this then fires the bullet at an insane speed when the spring is released from it's curl. Faster then any bow, Faster then even any crossbow"

"Wow... that's pretty impressive" Rowan said astounded

"Hmmhmm. We are trying lucky to be alive in this day and age my friend" The merchant added.
