History

As early as Vixaslaa 1469 a company known as Elwynn Hi-Tech Engineering was operating out of Eliria[1] and by 1472 was touting an armoured airship called the Ragnarok which never left the design phase. The company never achieved lift-off, as it were, which may be attributed to the unwillingness of the Imperial Government to provide funding and the general indifference of the Elfinshi ruling classes. As such it can be considered an example of where an industrial revolution failed to take-off, rather like Qing Dynasty China and for similar reasons.

Elwynn Hi-Tech Engineering had chequered fortunes after the advent of the Babkhans, being subsumed into the Babkhan Industrial concern Osman-Almagro Industries by government decree in 1509[2].

The Lesser Zjandarian County Farman 01/10/05 of 1509[3] saw the creation of the Zjandarian Research Institute in Vijayanagra alongside a Conversion Facility at Caligae, a Heavy Water production facility at Ardashirshahr and a isotope separation facility attached to the Zjandaria Research Institute. This was resurrected Fasmas 1538.

When the boot was on the other foot, however, Raikoth maintained that by 1556 the last vestiges of Elwynn Hi-Tech Engineering had been absorbed into a new entity known as Lirikoth Yyitek[4]. (Lirikoth being the name accorded by Raikoth to us barbarians on the mainland of Elwynn). However the notoriously low levels of economic freedom on that cold inhospitable island[5] meant that the Raikothian company was barely configured in 1569 to meet what the impenetrable government considered or predicted to be the island's material needs.

The situation had improved by the time of the brief Sxiro-Babkhan Military Cooperation Pact when the MoMA permitted Babkhan engineers to supervise the licensed production of Tughra, Moqtada, and Simorgh fighter at Lirikoth Yyitek in 1574. By the time of the Enlightened stigmergy and the decentralised state in 1586[6] the state and the institutions of society, including the company, had transcended all understanding and the laws of economics and thus ceased to be relatable to the human condition (although it has to be said that the subject of Hyperborean economics remains a fascinating one[7]).
