Warforged Factory

In the mountains of the Eskaryan Peaks, an alien yet mechanical airship of sorts lays defunct and wedged into the side of a cliff-face, an odd metal building overlooking a waterfall. Overgrown in vines, moss, roots and wisteria, the factory has seen better days. Etched into a plaque above the door, the insignia of a steel bull with red eyes can be found.

Upon investigation of the steel construction, the Adventurer's Guild of Eskarya uncover the location was once part of an artificer guild in Eskarya. Meeting with the only inhabitant, Otto d'Lyrandar, a half-elf who was the carer of the location, they shared stories of their exploits and findings within the new land of Eskarya. The artificer explains that he was a designer and creator of warforged.

Asking for the party's aid, Otto explained of the corrupted titan warforged which had made his work impossible to continue. Upon the destruction of the titan, they find that the source of the corruption was the overwhelming power being used to create life within them as a shard of a Lachla was used in place of a greater Khyber crystal. Wanting to keep the shard for research, the conversation is cut short by a voice calling through the halls, calling for the magic man. It comes from a hulking orc form, matching the description of Viakane and Otto orders the party to hide. When the orc appears with his lackies, he demands Otto continue work on his Warforged Titan, giving him two days to complete the construction. When he resists, Viakane tosses him from the height to his death.

The party promptly departs, snatching up the fragment of the Lachla Shard along with Otto's musket and a number of other curious artifacts.
