Machine Gods

A decade ago, adventurers in the Land of Aldarnor discovered an ancient Vault created by Hoplon Industries. Within, they discovered a treasure trove of magical lore on the creation of automatons.

Today, the Kingdom of Aldarnor is on the leading edge of construct creation. More and more of the semi-sentient machines roam the kingdom as a new kind of labor-force whose members don’t get tired or hungry or willful.

Automated war-machines, like iron golems and shield guardians, are gradually inserted in the military. And for the first time on Erdos, a temple to the Modron deity Primus, has been erected.

But lately, strange new deadly constructs have emerged in the wilderness.

Some of them are ancient battle automata that had been dormant since the Age of the Varn. Others are never before seen dreadful inventions. All of them are hostile, causing havoc on the settlements and trade routes of Aldarnor.

Who is behind these constructed horrors? What purpose do these seemingly random attacks serve?

Once again, the Lands are imperiled and a new group of adventurers must rise to defend them...
