Their masked people emerge from the Labyrinth with wonders tied to the Forge Lords’ old domain.
Mask-wearing people who dwell westward, deep in The Huffel Peaks — heirs to the arts of The Forge Lords.
They emerge from The Labyrinth to visit Gordin's Delve, trading finely worked goods, wonders, precious metals, oddities, and sometimes orichalcum. Their masks, black robes, ornate headdresses, chemical smells, and tinny voices make them hard to read. Outsiders rarely understand that the Ustrina include rival sects: Peridita, Albedo, Citrinita, and Rubedix.
What they trade
Ustrina trade missions are inscrutable but concrete. They may offer treasure, clockwork, artificial limbs, anthracite, bright-sticks, or Forge Lord relics, and ask for anything from exotic goods to bodies, blood, artifacts, livestock, or difficult tasks. They esteem relics of their own old masters and may pay dearly for their return.
