History
May 17, 1494 – Emperor Corvan sends a small Rhodok fleet to find new land for the Empire of Rhodok.
June 12, 1494 – The vessel finds a small island in the middle of the ocean.
July 3, 1494 – The Rhodok vessel returns to Calradia bringing with it a new substance, the natives call it fire dust.
August 25, 1494 – One of the barrels containing fire dust was in a warehouse when it caught fire, causing an explosion like no one has ever seen.
August 27, 1494 – Rhodok scientists run experiments on the fire dust in confined spaces, they see when it has no pressure on it, it burns and fizzles out, but when the put it in a place with lots of pressure, it explodes.
December 1, 1494 – The first tests begin on using the fire dust as a weapon, they were unsuccessful, throwing fire dust on someone and lighting it only burned them and did not kill them.
December 13, 1494 – The next test was successful, they put a fuse in a barrel of fire dust, lit it, and It exploded leaving massive damage. Someone had left their knife on the top of the barrel which they were using to make a hole for the fuse. The knife was found stuck in a wall 100 feet away, the idea of a projectile spreads quickly.
December 22, 1494 – The first prototype weapon is made, it is called the arquebuse, a long metal tube with a wooden stock. The first arquebuse explodes, killing the person firing it and 2 other people.
December 30, 1494 – After multiple tries to make the arquebuse, the Rhodoks run out of fire dust. They send their entire fleet to the small island to get as much fire dust as possible and to find the recipe.

January 23, 1495 – The Rhodok fleet makes it to the small island, they buy all the fire dust, and they find out that it is made up of sulfer, charcoal, and salt peter. They then set sail home as fast as they can go.
January 27, 1495 – The small Swadian ship arrives at the island, asking the natives what they gave to the Rhodoks, the natives reply fire dust. The natives have one barrel left, the Swadians buy it and sail home.
February 16, 1495 – The Rhodok fleet makes it back to Calradia with the stockpile of fire dust.
February 20, 1495 – The Swadian spies make it back to Calradia, showing the fire dust to Emperor Harlaus, Emperor Harlaus is amazed at what he sees, he starts his scientists experimenting on it.

January 28, 1503 – News finally spreads to the Kingdom of Vaegirs and the Kingdom of Nords, that there is a small island that produces a dust that explodes, the Nords and Vaegirs quickly buy the fire dust and test it out themselves.
February 17, 1503 – The Empire of Rhodok invents the Matchlock Musket, a cheaper safer version of the arquebusier, it is sold to the Nords and Vaegirs for a handsome profit. The fire dust recipe is still under extreme guard.
March 4, 1503 – The Swadians and the Rhodoks now battle over the fire dust monopoly, the Swadians import it from the small island, but it takes a long time for it to arrive. The Rhodoks produce it themselves but there are high labor costs compared to the natives.
