Musings on the Day

To summarize today's contingencies and vicissitudes:
 
Magnus in front of me as we port into the Temple of Adranus (ask Matt/Adranus/Chronus about that??)
 
Plating on older robots vastly different than that of his more contemporary compatriots (Oscar wheels rather than feet. *Haven’t read much about machines with sentience… these have their own free will.*
 
–Torren has read of men made of metal; previously assumed them to be products of enchantment…
 
Central forge is very large, the heat is welcoming and not overpowering. Arch to the left of the forge, opens up into the supposed center of some sort of volcano.
 
*Everywhere I look, inscribed on the floors, into the pools of lava… all COVERED in Celestial. About Adranus; fire, inspiration, creation… centering one’s intelligence.
 
OS29BDW (Oscar; oldest of his kind at this temple. Keeps the Creation Forge… known as “Warforged.”)
 
AX220ADW
 
Stepping out from alcoves/archways in single file lines… ~87 Warforged. Evolution of design is evident looking at this group… some look even newer than Ax, etc.
 
Seneca created the Chaos Diamond… considers us trustworthy, and has informed the Temple of this.
 
100 were initially made, for the war, to end the first age. After this, they secluded themselves here; the ones who chose not to have died or vanished into history.
 
Linus Landstein learned of mind altering magic from this forge; he once knew of Adranus. Him and Matthew came to them, against their will, and asked for their memories to be removed. Wanted to erase their mental connection to a being in an unknown plane (ASMODEUS)... tried to erase him out of their mind.
 
122 ADW, claimed he was bringing light to Adranus’ followers, claiming he needed a tablet to vanquish Asmodeus… 10 were sent to supervise him, but the trace vanished.
 
Message sent, from Astrid, years ago: “We’re friends of Warforged in Ursa, we’ve recovered one, but the rest are gone. Magnus has chosen the Dark God. We shall flee North, to Merak.
 
*Wendell: not a being created entirely by this forge… rather by Jonas (the half-orc).*
 
Settled down in the Temple for a few hours, preparing to embark on our quest for knowledge towards Modessa and her purported wisdom
