More and more railroads, as well as the first telegraph lines in the 1850s, expanded the lines of communication. Personally, Mogak funded notable magnates that led mayor industries. The Lepmes Channel connected Ulaka to the sea, while the Atan-Greswak Channel and the Dulurt Channel vastly expanded the Empire's river commerce. Mogak ruled the longest of all the Ivez Emperors, over 40 years. In the last years of his reign, he saw further technological innovation with the invention of the telephone and motion pictures. He died at age 70, after a severe stroke.
