Engineering

The engineer is not a common profession to those of Nyra.  To most races the only engineers that are known are the builders and designers of wagons and trade vehicles, as well as the more complicated tools of different trade professions.  The Sarkin however make greater use of this than most.  They have secrets of the engineering which are unreleased to those of other races such as Black Powder bombs and muskets, and in development, things like steam engines.
