Description

The Stonecarvers’ Forge is carved directly into the molten veins of the Rodiac Highlands. Massive anvils rest atop rune-carved obsidian platforms, surrounded by ever-burning lava channels. The entire forge is infused with leyline heat and earthbound magic, allowing master smiths to craft items of legendary power.  

Origins and Mythology

The Forge was said to be founded by dwarves guided by Inavi, the God of the Forge and Earth. Legends say the first anvil was lowered by a titanic earth elemental, and the flames were lit by a shard of primordial fire taken from the heart of the world.  

Notable Features

  • The Eternal Anvil – a massive blackstone anvil that never cools, used only for forging divine weapons
  • The Heartflame Crucible – channels raw ley-energy from the earth’s core
  • The Runespire Vault – a heavily warded chamber housing completed relics and forbidden blueprints
   

Crafting Capabilities

The Stonecarvers' Forge allows for the creation of:
  • Rune-etched weapons and armor
  • Magitek alloys and infused metals
  • Relics capable of slaying giants, titans, or gods
  • Protective gear for traversing elemental planes
   

Political and Strategic Importance

Control of the Forge means control of advanced weapons, tools, and magical infrastructure. The Forge is fiercely guarded by the Cragshield Clans and their Vulcanis Wardens, massive construct guardians forged in ancient rites.  

Known Relics Forged Here

  • Basilikorn – a twin-headed warhammer that can petrify with a strike
  • The Emberward Plate – impervious to fire, worn by legendary Rune Marshal Kaedra Ironwake
  • Echo Fang – a blade that mimics the voice and magic of any it wounds
 

Current Events

Rumors speak of a new ore discovered beneath the Forge, one that hums with latent divinity. Outsiders — including agents from Aeterna Regalis and cults of Inavi — have taken interest, prompting recent skirmishes in the deeper tunnels.
