Leaving behind the ways of magic, the Buvont worship science and technology above all else.

The Snail Games developed MMORPG, Black Gold, is giving us a closer look at one of the more steampunk-oriented races in the game; The "Buvont". Being one of the three races belonging to the Kingdom of Isenhort faction, the Buvont use their knowledge of steam technology to aid their faction in the battle to claim the rare energy source known as Black Gold.

After being banished from their former homeland of Erlandir for creating steam-powered machines, the Buvont decided to fully embrace--and worship even--the power of science and technology. Being the charismatic and flexible race that they are, the Buvont quickly made allies with the Dwarves; the original inventors of steam technology. However, differing from the Dwarves, the Buvont decided to militarize this tech in order to better suit combat purposes.

As mentioned above, the Buvont belong to the Isenhorst faction which is devoted to the advancement of science and technology, so it's only natural that the Buvont would choose to fall in allegiance with them. Players who create a Buvont character will be able to choose between the classes of the Inquisitor, the Mystic, or of course, the Tech Adept.

While The Buvont seem to be your standard "MMORPG Human Race", the history they have--and the role they may play going forward--seem to be of high importance to the game overall. And let's be honest, who doesn't want to rock some cool steampunk attire? For more information on the Buvont you can view the full race reveal here, or head on over to the Black Gold official website.

See you in game!
