Glintlight, Empowerment Through Light
I tell you that we are reaching the feats that have not been seen since the Scions of the Dawn, and by harnessing Radiance to empower our machines, we will ensure a prosperous future for all. - Glintlight ArtificerAs one of the most significant forms of technology to date, Glintlight has brought about considerable change to the world since its inception, as the world lacked notable industrialization beyond some advancements in steam and Cogmatics in limited regions. The main issue was a lack of fuel to power said industries on a larger scale, leaving the inhabitants of Embera with little development towards their societies. That was not until an obscure inventor that now one took notice of or tried to understand what he was trying to achieve with his machines that no one thought could work. Yet this many had a secret to make such ideas work as he had delved into whatever relics and records from the Dawn Age that he could obtain to better understand the feats they could achieve and how they worked. Through this research he uncovered a way to reverse engineer a way to harness the power of Radiance that revolutionized the world to this day. His name was Gemino Glint and through his effortless created the groundbreaking technology known as Glintlight that brought great change to world by bringing advanced technology that improved life significantly from the cold and harsh reality that its people endured for centuries. In the fifty years since the Glintlight Revolution, it has become a necessity to life as it benefited all who began to use it, leaving behind the hardships that pervious generation had to endure. Now machines powered by Radiance can be found just about anywhere as their gears grind to life as the light of the world powers them. It has also since improved and evolved since it early days as more and more inventions that are centered around it are made to further the progress it has created. Making it all the more fascinating in what brighter future will come with it as advancement in this form of technology can be achieved in ridding the world of the hardships and dangers that still linger in it.
Utility
Machinery: With the power of Radiance, its limitless energy has allowed for many machines powered by it to produce light to brighten settlements on the darkest of nights, create factories to increase productivity, and lighten the load of daily life to bring comfort. In the many settlements across Embera, Glintlight is continually used and developed to build machines that encompass many parts of society, making it better than ever before.
Vehicles : A New kind of machine now exists that allows for faster travel, that eliminates the need to rest like any travel mounts, so long as it has fuel. There are many different forms of these to accommodate large groups of people or a few, traveling by land, sea, and even air in comfort.
Devices: Unlike the larger machines that have industrialized society, smaller objects have been created for personal use to help people with their lives, both at home and beyond. Many of these can be used as a portable light source or as a means of defense against anything that wishes them harm should the need arise.
Weaponry: As the dangers of the world and the forces of The Gloom still exist, it is often necessary to create weapons to protect others and ones left from all harm, with Glintlight being no different. Weapons that can use Radiance for long-range attacks, and mechanical melee weapons to apply extra damage when average weapons cant cut it.
Social Impact
The introduction of Glintlight brought about a revolution in technology and culture with likes that have not been seen in centuries. Allowing for improvements in life with new machines aiding in transportation, production, power, and many other fields that are still being developed to this day. Many communities and settlements needed to build from the ground up and learn how to manage the machinery that is now powered by Radiance and the uses it can provide for them.
Access & Availability

Radiant Revolution
We have finally come to a crossroads in our history where we may achieve a world where we shall no longer fear the darkness, for we have brought the light to us like never before. - Gimino Glint, Creator of GlintlightSince its introduction worldwide, Glintlight has become one of the most essential pieces of technology the world has ever seen, bringing forth new ideas that have improved many aspects of society. It has even been stated that the technology itself is the closest thing to rival the wonders of the Dawn Age, with such sophisticated machines being so easily obtainable. It is a time of great change with the light of the world to power it to give it people a better chance to stand against the darkness that lingers close to them.
Glintlight sounds like the kind of thing someone would invent after staring at a flashlight too long and thinking, “What if this could also purify my soul?” I like how it is not just tech, but tied into belief and emotion. It feels like something that could either save the world or accidentally vaporize someone’s cat. I am curious to see how it plays out.
