Engineering

Engineering was the field of the design and building of machines, vehicles, bridges, tunnels, and other structures.

"It's time to liberate the people from the tyranny of magic! Don't you see that a system of mechanics is the only means of ever freeing the world from mere autocracy?"

- Lorenzo Utrelli Da Lomarta

History
In any decent-sized city, a sage specialized in engineering could be found with a 30% chance, or 40% in Impiltur, Lantan, and Ordulin (for shipbuilding), around 1358 DR.

Education
Engineers often used scrolls to collect, preserve, and communicate their information to other engineers or different professions, such as architects, artillerists, miners, and shipwrights. They often came in sets of five or more and were considered highly valuable as they drastically cut down on construction time. However, their value varied depending upon their rarity and usefulness.
