>Trochain Republic- Pedaled Flying Machines
>Lomre isn't the only state that claims succession from the grandest empire, and east of Lomre lies the City State of Trochain, a nation of practical-minded philosphers and engineers that pay patron to the Gods of Art and Necessity among the same pantheon as their neighbors. Though little of the old city or extant archeotech remains after centuries of deterioration, re-purposing and build-up, the Trochains are far more inclined towards devising new devices and means to solve emerging problems than any of their neighbors. A common sight on the streets of the city of bronze and polished diorite is the presence of strange man-powered wheeled vehicles, pulled not by beasts of burden by the strenuous activity of the riders themselves, coming in configurations with two wheels, three wheels, or even a singular wheel for the experienced, seen as a cheaper, low-maintenance alternative to beasts of burden when it comes to personal transportation. Devices that augment physical activity are one of the city's specialties, and among their inventions include the bicycle, unicylce, tricycle, the pedal-cranked balista, and pedal-powered lifting crane which has allowed them to construct imposingly tall structures using merely manpower.
