As Last Breath could be considered suneater society's modern philosophical center, so could Distant Fires be considered its technological center.
In terms of pure scientific understanding and the practical applications thereof, all suneater clans are 'technologically superior' relative to the other Erjan races. However, even among the clans, Distant Fires is lauded for its exceptional engineers and glassmiths, whose extraordinary work continually expands the horizons of research, transportation, defense, and even entertainment technology.
It is often rumoured by the other Erjan races that among the devilry employed by the savage suneaters is the ability to jail the very Sun's light, that it might later be used as a weapon. If there is any truth to this story, it can be found with Distant Fires.
