===Science and technology===
Gallowmere's human population enjoyed technological advances far beyond what was common in the medieval era. This included the [[Corn cutting machine]] used to harvest corn by the farmers, as well as the street lamps and iron gutters found in Gallows Town.
The [[Imps]] had their own technology, specifically the [[Mecha Imps]], which they used to steal produce from the land's farmers.{{Gameref|MED2019-Bestiary|Mecha Imps}}
A notable scientist and inventor was the sorcerer Zarok. Zarok created a [[train|steam locomotive]], a time machine,{{Gameref|MED2019|The Time Device|quote=Zarok seeks to expand his reach beyond the confines of time. Just think of where he could go. Modern London? Egypt? The possibilities are endless!|author=Loading screen}} and artificial soldiers known as [[Boiler Guards]]. However, most of Zarok's inventions were confined to his domain, which was destroyed in 1386, and most of his creations were presumably destroyed along with it.
