- Head North to Stalforge Discipline
>Describe: A Large facure of a mountain that levels out onto a grey plateau. Calcified stalactite chimneys can be seen rising into the sky that billow black smoke into the atmosphere.
>>A Large lake sits in the centre of the community that is used to quench the ingots of damascus steel and while it does run a barely milky white as it runs down the mountainside around the chimneys, it bubbles as it takes on heat, letting off a steam that turns the lake into a large hotspring.
>>>A large chimney sends off one giant plume of smoke. Perception check shows that manyartificial holes have been drilled in that make it let out an industrial whistle. This whistle signifies that the day's work has finished and many workers pour out of the caves and go to the lake to soak away their hard work and muscle pains.
>>>>A Young Aloxa sits within the pool ready to quiz and question the workers about what they do down to extreme detail. This is a nuisance to many of the workers who just want to relax.
>>>>Some workers bypass the spring altogether and head straight for the waterside tavern, some sitting at springside bar and some heading in to the land side.

- Tavern
>Describe the Tavern, lava flow cooks satay style food, drink vessels are washed by the stream and contribute to making warm beverages with supplies from Ahli'jinan, note that not all drinks are available as supplies are not as forthcoming.

>>>Adventurers can get food, drink, only fresh. Barkeep is called Steely-澸

- Export Office
>Manages the logistics of sending off ingots and raw steel castings to other Disciplines.
>>A Hunter is in the works of requesting some steel for casting into bullets. The Logistics Master Jxao Ironschlep is of Formcaste descent but has made his home here enamoured by the pure quality of this steel. He is hard of mind, not desiring to relinquish this steel to an outsider who would not craft with it to its full potential like those of generational tradition would.
>>>He mentions of the loss of workers in the smelting caves. it is unexplained where they have disappeared to. He would maybe let some steel go if answers could be found. He does not control access to the mountain however and couldn't let you in to help if you wanted to.

- The Young Axola knows that there is an underwater entrance into the Slagmite caves from the lake.
- The Blood Hunter knows that the tracks within the cave are of warewolf origin and that there are flecks of his blood around. It seems corrupted by something he has never seen before.
- The Bounty Hunter knows that the creature is under the process of A'lgamation and must be put down.

Room 1

Puzzle Vents
>An attempt has been made to turn this room into a machine room utilizing the naturally forming gas vents as a fuel source.
>>You can see a large vent at least 10 feet fall protruding from the rear wall that could be walked through like a tunnel. It must lead deeper into the cavern but is spewing fourth a hot gas.
>>>The heat of the room is not impossible to exist in but is making everyone sweat profusely. Anyone not immune to heat takes one damage a turn if they fail a constitution saving throw that starts at 10 and increases every time more gas enters the room by one.
>>>>In the center of the room, five calcified stacklacmites are each billowing forth a coloured Gas. and five more are not emenating anything all arranged in a circle. This Gas would be recognised by those with Formcaste Hailitage and who pass a check of +14 investigation, +12 Nature, +12 Medicine. Add +5 requirement for anyone not of Formcaste Hailitage.
