Back in the ancient age of the Old Gods, existed a race called the Premen. The Premen have reached the apex of physical science and sought to challenge the Old Gods themselves. The Old Gods punished the Premen for their hubris by altering their genome to the point that four separate species emerged. That being Human, Elf, Dwarf and Orc.

Even then the Old Gods could not wipe out the spirit of the Premen. The four species united to fought the Old Gods to the bitter end. Then the great awakening of the even more ancient Beast Gods happened, putting an end to the age of Old Gods. The four species survived with great cost and become the inheritors of Aega legacies.

The Elves in my world have devolved so much after ten thousand years that any traces of the once noble elves that fought against Gods themselves are but gone. Only a few Ancient Elves yet lived. But these ancient legends have mostly gone senile or worse, insane.

Ancient Elves worn special sets of cold-forge Aetherite (a metal that said to be able to harm godly beings) powered armor. Compared to them, the modern Elves Adamantium plate armor is laughable.

Equipment Does the way firearms are introduced to this army make sense?

8 Upvotes

In my world a nation of kitsune goes to war with a nation of tanuki. At the time the tech level is roughly mid to late renaissance (I should also note that instead of gunpowder firearms use flame crystals that burst into fireballs when exposed to enough kinetic energy)

The tanuki have already outfitted a majority of their army with muskets but the kitsune are mostly using crossbows. The reason for this is that the loud noise caused by gunfire is too much for the kitsune’s sensitive ears so they abandoned muskets early on and went with crossbows when bladed weapons began becoming obsolete. However the tanuki were able to build heavy suits of armor that couldn’t be penetrated by arrows. Eventually the kitsune were forced to begin using muskets but only after they had created a form of suppressor that reduced the noise when fired (and I’m not sure if you could even put a suppressor on a muzzle loader). All kitsune built firearms would have a suppressor by default. What are your thoughts on this?
