The origin of the steam tank comes from a Tiriel man, named Leonardo Da Miraglino, born in the Tiriel City State four hundred years ago.
This man, originating as a painter, in the artistically rich Tiriel, made a name for himself as a painter and sculptor and found a decent job. Yet he soon became obsessed with architecture, engineering, and physics, especially the Dwarven steam ironclad ships. After spending years understanding Dwarven steam technology, Leonardo set about creating his own steam ironclad ship.
At that time, Tiriel didn't have the conditions to help Leonardo complete his vision, so this famous Chief Engineer began to serve the Empire. His talent in muskets, artillery, and war machines enabled the Empire to construct the first regiment-based musket and artillery units and achieve mass production capabilities. Leonardo's genius ideas and astonishing talent quickly made him a valued guest of the Empire.
