About this adventure
Lord Ravencrest has arrived in Veridian with a commission unlike any the Cog & Anvil Forge has ever seen: a weapon of impossible specifications, requiring components scattered across the city's most dangerous quarters. The payment offered is staggering. The secrecy demanded is absolute. And the blueprints he provides, written in a cipher that shouldn't exist yet, hint at something far more destructive than a single weapon — they hint at a device capable of leveling Veridian's harbor.
Prologue
The gears of Veridian grind on, powered by coal and ambition. Above, airships crisscross the smog-choked sky. Below, the streets churn with automatons and desperate faces, all chasing the next glimmer of fortune in this city of dreams and rust. But beneath the surface, a shadow falls. Lord Ravencrest's arrival has upset the delicate balance of power. His coin flows like oil, greasing the palms of those who should know better, and his whispered promises of progress conceal a darker purpose. The cogs are turning, but to what end?
