Azania Toysmith, Dwarven Clockworker
Posted on September 9, 2009 | 1 CommentThe Toysmith family has been associated with clockworking, gearsmithing and golem making for generations, but they primarily stick to working in the Dwarven freeholds. Azania, a talented student, quickly moved from apprentice to journeyman. Her talents lay in creating more delicate toys and flights of fancy, things not usually found among dwarves, but immensely popular with other races. After much discussion, it was decided to send Azania to work outside the freeholds where her talents could bloom. -
The Hidden Vale
Posted on September 8, 2009 | 1 CommentHidden Vale is easily placed into any fantasy or steampunk setting that allows for golem creation and rune magic. The only requirements are two nations with strained relations and a valley between them to serve as the site of the town. There need not even be mountains, though this certainly makes the town more difficult to invade. With the guardians standing watch, it makes for a wonderful site to hide ancient evils, artifacts or malcontents who somehow manage to slip inside, only to be trapped once within its walls.
