The Mech Stables

Set in the Third Precinct, near the famous stables of Beast Haven, the Mech Stables boast the very best in mechanical mounts. Designed after existing animals, or extinct creatures, the Mechs are built with a metal frame and filled with a mix of runic magic and elemental forces. Originally inspired by the Fluxchargers, the Mechs are a more base design magically, and are spelled to follow specific commands. As they have been given an intelligence greater than a naturally born beast, the Mechs are considered a unique and very specialized creation.
Designed by the Izzet League, and owned by those who are technologically savvy, or those who wish to appear to be so, a Mech on the streets draws a great deal of attention. And while the most common types of mounts are engineered after horses, both large felines and canines can be spotted in the stables for purchase, and specific creatures can even be requested for an addition price. With a base price of 500 gp, and specialized ones up to 5,000 gp, Mechs are out of reach for the general populace and the custom ones are unavailable to anyone but the luxuriously rich. And while the price is considerably high, the advantages of a mechanical mount are numerous. As a construct, the Mechs do not require air, food, drink or sleep. This saves a great deal on future expenses. A Mech is also more durable, faster and does not need to rest on an extended journey. And while the Izzet League tends to not care for the elegance of their designs, those who run the Mech Stables only produce the most exquisite of creations.
Considered to be a symbol of wealth, it has become a fashion statement of late to have ones home protected by a mechanical creature. Either as a watchdog, or a mount for a trained guard, many of the wealthier establishments in the Tenth District are now displaying Mechs purchased from the Mech Stables.
