Old Maker powers whose roads, ruins, and wonders still overlap in the wider world.
Makers who bent fire and metal to their will, gone for ages but still defining the wealth of The Huffel Peaks.
They built a sprawling civilization among the Huffels and the sea beyond, wrought wonders, traded with other Makers, and filled the deep places with roads, vaults, machines, and impossible materials. A fire burned inside them — it fueled their magic, passion, and creativity, but it was also a curse. Rivalry became murder, murder became slaughter, and those who survived did so by embracing the Change. In the end the Forge Lords were gone and the draventao remained.
Legacy
Their ruins fill the Huffels and The Labyrinth with metal constructs, orichalcum, anthracite, clockwork, broken vaults, and artifacts other factions still covet. The Ustrina dwell among their ruins and honor relics of their old masters; Gordin's Delve survives by prying wealth out of what they left behind.
