d100 Found Junk of the Mudlands of Charginspire

The crap you find in the mud and trenches and ruins of the wastes around Charginspire is the main reason people come here. 

Consider anything found you could roll for its condition or just make a saving throw for item and declare working or damaged and possibly functional. Spells could break or repair them. 

Ancient technology is powered by alchemy not science so detect magic does detect black powder and the rust free steel used in ancient technology. Sadly all the mud in the wastelands is full of alchemical dust from centuries of warfare so also detects as magic and blocks detect magic. The mud is also toxic and long exposure causes mutations or sickness.

d12 Technology
1 Age of Stone use all natural materials mostly like leather, flint, obsidian, bones, shells, sinew, plant fibres but often made use of metal or glass or more modern materials if they find them. Build monumental ritual spaces, fish traps, erect monoliths or work on vast earthworks as part of seasonal rituals. Lack of distinct elites in a separate housing, assemblies of elders may point special leaders for special tasks like war or appeasing spirits or craft or hunting 

2 Age of Copper with crops, livestock, and large towns. Copper daggers, hatchets, spearheads, maces, and small swords of metal are impressive status symbols. Mighty bosses direct organised uniform troops and  May have the start of elaborate picture symbols. Writing is a secret for priests and wizards. 

3 Age of Bronze the start of urbanisation, commonplace writing, walled city-states, chariots, kingship, mighty monuments like ziggurats and pyramids. Improved armour, weapons and walls make cities stronger and they began to control more irrigated land towns grew into cities

4 Age of Iron still uses bronze mostly but the start of empires and the unification of arts like language, measurements, sculpture, astrology, alchemy, mythology and money. The emergence of gods into distinct pantheons made up of member cities united. The glory of the empires may rise and fall. Their names may last the ages or are forgotten

5 Age of Steel where remaining empires struggle to retain civilisation while barbarians and monsters ran amok wrecking everything. Big empires struggle with infrastructure, living standards and defence. Local lords start assume fuedal system in some areas. Arms and armour grow heavier and more diverse from so many mobile peoples and for flexibility

6 Age of Faith where great religions united vast religions and persecuted older religions and gods and spell users zealously. Great cathedrals, defensive castles and towns were ruled by fuedal noble families who depended on alliances to cooperate in peace. Well-armed orders waged war abroad as frontiers and some lost arts and new ones were recovered. Steel is commonplace but iron and bronze are still common. Commonerers are less involved in warfare and more on the land. Missionary traders and soldiers begin to explore the world
7 Age of Alchemy where increasingly mechanical and black powder weapons appeared. Steal became standard with plate armour, polearms and muskets side by side. War is prohibitively expensive and mostly won by mercenaries or on allies who come in time. Medicine, arts, and construction all improve and great universities are built. Butants become increasingly common

7 Age or the Gun where armies of musket men and other specialists march into battle with cannons blasting them. The great powers used conscription to raise armies with nationalism and religion and fight over colonial assets and trade advantages over people with less guns. Clockwork mechanical marvels like clocks appear in every town and for the rich.

8 Age of the Machine where alchemists improve firearms and use dangerous alchemical polluting fuels to power huge ironclad vehicles and war machines. Rail networks, factories, ,  and automation on farms made cities swell. Explosive shells and bullets with brass shells became standard and left a taint over the land and those who wielded them. Aristocrats dwindle as new democracies and despots replace them

9 The End Times with machine wonders like personal horseless carriages, airships, photography, telegraph, electric lamps and gatling guns. Power lines, huge power plants and pylon networks allowed the toxic power plants to be further away from the rich. These were the peoples who lived when the Alchemists began working on the Null Sphere within Carginspire to neutralise the multiverse. This started the apocalypse war

10 The Apocalypse Age where wars were waged for centuries killing the best heroes and wasting materials and labour that could have made a utopia. But the alchemists did not want utopia they wanted nothing to have ever existed. As the war raged they developed lighter-than-air power flying machines, motorcycles, submarines, armoured cars, radio, tanks, battleships and many terrible wonders while non-essential knowledge was sacrificed in bloody trenches for centuries. Advances in medicine helped repair soldiers and erase their tortured memories

11 The Forgotten Times where it seemed all reality would implode into non-existence and the world was poisoned wherever war was waged. Alchemists made monsters, mutants, abhumans and automatons and the living dead to help exterminate their enemies. Magicians in their bunkers kept pushing the limits as magical resources used in the last age were depleted leaving the rusted hulks of great machines everywhere. The great tracked land leviathans destroyed the last cities resisting with elemental power unseen before. Some of these were cognitive thinking machines. Various mind-altering gasses and experimental rays are used to confuse troops or to turn them on their own kind
12 The Twilight of the Multiverse which events are unclear but after 90% of intelligent beings were dead. The final great war machines that walked and used legendary rays that caused sickness, and madness turned targets to ash. Many items are made of intelligent crystals or living alien flesh or shapeshifting morphic metal Strange flying luminous machines are seen and people say this is the alchemists still checking up on us and the Null Sphere. Some say they all raced to the end of time so they don't have to wait and we just see some of their machines sometimes

The cults today who wish to steal the secrets of the alchemists and the Null Sphere credit them with all non-human intelligent life, the gods, magic, monsters and all kinds of things. The alchemists said all other fields of knowledge were meaningless and pointless distractions
