Papa Liam 960 Share Posted July 25, 2019 [!] An article is found in your local paper. THE DURANT & PARTNERS RAIL CO. 5th of the First Seed / Owyn’s Light, 1726 ((Various sections of this thread are to be updated as we progress, such as investor lists, station maps, and share charts.)) INTRODUCTION With recent adaptations in rapid transportation technology, made possible by a small team of engineers, a company has been established for the formalization of laying track between urban centers. The Durant & Partners Rail Company aims to convert mina and labor into rail lines, linking together the civilized nations of the continent in the hopes of encouraging civilian, economic, and diplomatic transport possible, and faster than ever. With the newest adaptations in rail technology, you will be able to have breakfast in Lyria and lunch in Avalain – a feat thought impossible before the finalization of this groundbreaking technology. Railroads were first developed in 1672 by the ingenious Holmite engineer, Balek Irongut, when he successfully linked together the Republic’s capital and the Adrian suburb of Oserov. Now, over five decades later, the technology has been vastly improved to allow for long distance transportation of the individual and merchant goods. Although still a time-consuming process which proves to be financially risky, this industrial breakthrough will ensure ease of travel for the commoner, the trader, and the diplomat. A prior railroad revolution was attempted, but failed due to faulty technology. Now, it is finally possible. [!] A sketch of an envisioned railway, connecting Belvitz and Holm – 1675 EMPLOYMENT Already working towards the establishment of a line between Helena and Ves, the Durant Rail Co. will begin with lines unifying the Empire. Afterwards, lines will begin to traverse outside of human territory, bringing the rest of Atlas into this new and industrious network.

Durant, a fellow Dwed engineer, strokes his beard. He wasn’t aware that the ingenious technology of minecarts was exclusive to the Kal’Varoth Boys Club.
