==Factions of Project Democracy - The Dwarven Technocracy==
Established over 250 years ago, the Dwarven Technocracy is an equal-opportunity-employment conglomerate that provides a large number of the technological and magical innovation that the citizens of the world enjoy. They are the ones who run the electric Rail system, and they who built the first airships. All known magic items were first discovered at their centers of learning, and they remain the greatest source of invention in the world. The Technocracy, however, does not share its secrets openly to anyone. The binding rituals that placate the elementals that power great transports are an industry secret, and it is said greater things lie in waiting in the western mountain holds.

The Technocracy is primarily a dwarf endeavor, based in the western mountain ranges, though it is open to any and all applicants, be them a bullywug from the swamps or balors from the Nine Hells. To rise in rank in the Technocracy, one must display mental aptitude above and beyond the rest. Its ruling council consists of a dwarf, an elf, a human, and a gnome, all masters of their respective fields, and all unanimously chosen by the lower members of the Technocracy.

The current masters are
Orrin Pok, gnome, who first designed the Rail system that spans the Empire and the Technocracy
C. Darwin, elf, chief biologist, who has put forth numerous theories on the origins of life and ecosystems
Johnson (first name unknown), human, who advanced the research of many magic weapons and armors
Rockfist Fearengine, dwarf, who rebuilt himself with parts of a strange metal hulk that fell from the sky and is rumored to be designing something called a "Spelljammer."

The Technocracy follows the ideals of science and logic, and at its founding, elected their greatest scientist to the pantheon. People often claim their inspiration comes from "Sagan himself."

While your average Technocrat will generally be a jovial and agreeable fellow, NEVER disrespect their equipment, their inventions, or their rituals. 

===Known Technocracy Towns===
