The Valley of SMoke
.jpg)
Hundreds of miles from the nearest civilization in the heart of the plains of avarice sits the mysterious factory. A massive monument to the advanced war machines that populate the world of Crudilex. This land has come to be called the valley of smoke due to the cyclopian stacks that paint the sky black. The inner valley is difficult for anynon-warforged to stay
in for any kind of extended period without developing some fairly serious breathing problems. The edges of the valley are small but active volcanos spewing a constant stream of magma that flows north to south through the valley. tHE TWO STANDOUT DISTRICTS OF THE VALLEY ARE THE GOLD AND GREY WARDS, EACH EXPLAINED IN MORE DETAIL BELOW. tHIS ENIGMATIC LOCATION IS MADE ONLY MORE MYSTERIOUS BY IT'S OWNER. tHE RECLUSIVE GENIUS
gOLDWARD
Goldward gets its name from the ornate gold and bronze coloring of nearly all buildings, Constructs, and creatures who call it home. Each bears a undeniable elegance one would relate to the masterwork of Maestro who crafted this place to his exact specifications to the finest detail.
​
This grand spire, which shadows goldward at it's heart is the Portunmenti, or key of progress. A magnificent obelisk constructed around its main feature, the worlds last active warforge. aN ARCANE FURNACE WHICH WHEN AN ARTIFACT IS TOSSED INSIDE A MECHAINE HUMANOID SIMULACRUM WILL EMERGE GIVIN SENTIENCE AND FACSIMILE OF THE ARTIFACT THAT BIRTHED IT.

SUPPLYING INNOVATION
THE machines OF CONQUEST CREATED IN THE FACTORY SELDOM REMAIN THERE. tHEY FIND THERE WAY TO EACH CORNER OF THE WORLD, MISSING A SINGLE COMPONENT NEEDED TO OPERATE THEM, fragments OF iV.
​
Each nation recives variants unique to there needs. In nearly endless supply these titanic weapons of war simply seem to appier outside of the factory to there specifications.
​
The world weilds these weapons like cudgels and wars among themselves for there fuel, the fragments.
THE OUTRIDERS
mounted TRIBES OF OUTRIDERS. THOSE WILD ENOUGH TO GO HUNTING THE FRAGMENTS USING ANY AND ALL MEANS TO DO SO. DOWNING AUTOMOTA, SHATTERING TOTEMIC CARAVANS, EVEN FIGHTING ABERATIONS. THESE MADMEN ARE SURVIVORS IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE GREAT FALL AND THEY HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
​
THE OUTRIDERS ARE FEARED ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE MONSTERS OF THE PLAINS, PERSICELY BECAUSE THEY LOOK IN THE FACE OF DEATH AND INSTED OF FLEEING THEY SCREAM WAR CRIES AND EMBRACE IT.
