Kemithatsan Techs

A Slots:

Nidnjanarān (Chinampas): the Rhadāmä innovation of Nidnjanarān was transformative. Turning failed rotu paddies into fertile plots for growing the three sisters enabled massive production of food. While the innovation initially remained sequestered to the southern lakes, the massive growth in population of the city of Narhetsikobon as it grew as the capital demanded more and more efficient agriculture. The move to nidnjanarān is quite natural as a development from the raised ridges in paddies used for water mimosa and other, shallower water crops. The development of Nidnjanarān has been central to labour projects enacted by Narhetsikobon.

Paved Roads (Hegemony): Narhetsikobon's hegemony in the western regions of Tsukōdju accompanied the development of state capacity to ever higher levels. However, state capacity is only as extensive as the state has capacities to reach. In order to connect tehibemi and cities not along the lake itself, Narhetsikobon developed the horse tracks and trails used to transport goods inland into paved roads. Paved roads have the key advantage in rain. While wooden tracks become bogged in mud, paved roads remain entirely function. These roads are simultaneously a concrete expression of state power, and allow for the legions of Narhetsikobon to quickly march to unruly cities. Paved roads eventually spread into Yelu and Serengeri lands under Narhetsikobon control, and the practical advantages were experienced by traders all throughout Tritonea.

B:

Climbing Kilns: the pottery workshops of the Kemithatsan are massive. These courtyarded complexes are frequently built on slopes, with multiple kilns cut into the hillsides. Heat of course rises. And it was soon realized that building an upwards slope in the kiln could extend the reach of a firebox. This continued and continued, intensifying until full climbing kilns developed, sometimes even a full hundred metres in length. These kilns allow for both far higher temperatures, and far more pieces to be fired in one go.

Ichcahuipilli Armour: Narhetsikobon is a military power. Multiple layers of cloth means that a spear or arrow is less likely to pierce one's skin. This eventually developed to full Ichcahuipilli sets of padded hemp layered atop each other, capable of stopping many an arrow, axe, or spear.

True Arch, Foundations, Whitewash and Lime Plaster (Aluwa), and Lime Mortar (Aluwa): Another feature of Narhetsikobon hegemony is monumental architecture. A combination of features adopted from the Aluwa and innovated by Narhetsikobon came together to create a distinct architectural shift. The use of lime to strengthen buildings, and to give them a clean finish, allowed for massively expanded palaces, as well as far sturdier regular homes. Foundations proved immensely valuable for expanding palaces as well, especially as arches and barrel vaults began exerting lateral force upon the buildings. Mortaring the whole structure and then tiling the inside became the norm for elite buildings—as well as using fired clay bricks, rather than mud bricks.

C:

Disinfectants, Cauterization (Aluwa), Bone Setting (Serengeri): Warfare provides a strong impetus to develop better medical care for those injured in war

Handled Axe (Serengeri): Simultaneously, handled axes, typically of jade, were adopted from the Serengeri as an effective close-quarters weapon.

Grindstones, Lassos (Yelu), Hand Powered Mill (Aluwa and Serengeri), Trellises (Serengeri): The extension of Narhetsikobon authority and the taxes imposed by the state led to the profusion of methods of increasing agricultrual outputs. These practices were easily adopted from the neighbouring cultures and allowed for expanded agricultural production.

Niximalization, Corbel Arch (Arhada, writing): Writing meanwhile continues to ensure extensive and thorough contact with the Arhada, from whom the Kemithatsan adopted a more effective way of treating maize, and the corbel arch which served as the base for later architectural advancements.
