Kovati

Founding

Kovati is the first permeant outpost beyond the Bastion Cities that has been able to survive. This is exclusively due to the use of Shroud Beacon's which act to mimic the protective qualities of the Bastion Cities against The Shroud and what lurks within it.

Built into the Glasside Mountains this mostly underground outpost was built by the Forgers of Wagram to act as a proof that their Shroud Beacons worked as intended. However, in the 6 months that the outpost has stood, the Forgers have begun to move more and more of their operations into it. It already acts as a secondary headquarters for their guild and houses most of their experimental forging. It seems likely they will soon be operating mainly out of it rather than Wagram itself.

Operations

Beacon Production

The majority of master Forgers spend their efforts crafting Shroud Beacons deep within Kovati. It is clear that these artifacts are the most important invention the Forgers have made and will be needed for every government, company, guild, or organization looking to do anything outside the severely limited space within the Bastion Cities.

The Forgers plan to expand their own operations far and wide before providing significant numbers of beacons to anyone.

Training

With the new opportunities for the Forgers to expand with both the discovery of Tradorn and the creation of the beacons recruitment has skyrocketed.

Promising craftsmen that have been turned away in years past have been invited to Kovati to receive training before Awakening. These men and women are being taught the basics of arcane craftsmanship for free, and the best of them are being added to the ranks of the Forgers so that they can handle the more tedious tasks that waste the time of the Master Forgers.

Although no official designation exists, these members of the Forgers are treated as lesser members. They hold none of the sway of the older members or their direct apprentices, and are not privy to the deeper secrets of the Forging craft.
