During the period of the Urcean Crown's ascent to Imperial dominance, important changes were occurring in the country and in [[Levantia]] in general. In the period 1730-1765, devices such as the flying shuttle, spinning frame, and the spinning jenny were invented in the Imperial heartland. With increasing mechanization bleeding into other sectors and a greater ability to refine cast iron, the early stage of the Industrial Revolution had begun in Levantia. King-Emperor Leo (to 1768), and his son Brian (reigned 1768-1781), largely allowed the economy to progress without intervention. | During the period of the Urcean Crown's ascent to Imperial dominance, important changes were occurring in the country and in [[Levantia]] in general.
