Wheels

Wheeled vehicles are fairly rare in large parts of the empire where the devanu are a more common threat - it has proved difficult to maintain good quality roads, so most long distance travellers prefer to use beasts that can comfortably take a detour if need be! Around Lanakar and in other cities where the devanu are seen as a problem for the ″uncivilised country folk″ the roads are better managed and there are all manner of carts and wheeled vehicles. The lowly handcarts are often employed by poorer workers to transport their goods to the bustling markets as they are much cheaper to maintain than the likes of the baruk. Some of these carts are tethered to the much unruly enuk vulgaris, but their owners often find life is a lot easier if they just take the burden themselves!
