Template:Half the Battle Fictional CharacterKing Bryon was the ruler of the small kingdom of Canoga in Ellay two centuries after the Burning. When his scribe, Pedro approached him with stories of an ancient gun that could spit bullets in rapid succession, rather than dismiss him, he ordered him to look into the possibility to recreate the device. This led to him eventually gaining sovereignty over the duchy of Pacoim.
During Bryon's father's time, engineers had recovered the technology to build a lathe from similar sources.
