Setting:
Humanity has always been the butt of many jokes by the elder races, such as when the elves "invited" some human artisans and "purchased" some human goods which meant they kidnaped and held them hostage until they gave up their goods or when a dwarf king "asked" a human empire for men and iron, I could go on and on about such incidents but the thing is humans live fairly short lives around 80 cycles whereas most if not all so-called elder races live for around 1000 cycles some even further this has caused humans to be considered as children although what they fail to understand is children have certain wisdom of their own. In an unremarkable city in quite a remarkable place, a certain use for a certain mineral was discovered meanwhile in the far north an accident while creating a miracle drug led to what can only be considered a breakthrough in pyrotechnics. The elder races either unaware or uncaring for the discoveries of humanity ignored the strange rumors of human cities being twice or even four times their original sizes they ignored their merchants who told them tails of how the cities of humanity were choked by smog and of the rains that would even dissolve leather inscribed with protection magic or the strange clothes and buildings that where being build of glass and steel not of rocks and wood or of the strange wagons that made the Orkish caravans useless.
Then came the proclamation it was not any old proclamation no it was a proclamation from humanity to everyone it went as "We humanity on the date 19th of the 5th month of the year 1884 of the 9th age declare that we have united under a single flag under a single empire under a single nation, may the Gods have mercy on our enemies for we shall not" and hence the country called the United Empire of Redrax was born the Kingdom Of Leonia was a kingdom made up of various types of elves who considered the now United Empire an enemy soon war was declared and on the river bed of the city of Gerdontignel a new weapon would be unleashed the Feins Armored Units or simply known as FAUs where armored behemoths of steel and techno-magical circuits within few cycles the war was lost the kingdom forces retreated. Now the Elder races are afraid of the age of magic ending and the age of steel and smoke beginning.
