The Obsidian Foundry

Location and Scale:

Beneath the vibrant streets of the Heart of the Imperium  lies the Obsidian Foundry. Its entrance is a marvel of engineering, leading to an underground expanse so vast it's said to have its own horizon.

Structure and Operations:

• Industrial Heartland: The Foundry is a hive of activity with forges belching steam, assembly lines stretching for miles, and workers toiling in rhythmic unison.
• Secret Projects: Deep within, secluded chambers and heavily guarded vaults hold the empire's most confidential projects – experimental weapons and machines that blur the line between science and myth.
• Energy Core: At the Foundry’s heart lies the Core, a massive steam engine that powers the entire complex, rumored to be sustained by an unknown, possibly arcane, energy source.
• A direct line to the SteamHaven Refinery provides huge quantities of resources.

Influence and Impact:

• Economic Powerhouse: As the main supplier of machinery and armaments, the Foundry is vital to the empire's economy and military might.
• Social Fabric: Around the Foundry, a unique subculture has developed, comprising workers, engineers, and their families, creating a town within a city.
