You push through the day. The skies are clear and the temperature is good. Your travel makes good time. The sun is where it would be in late afternoon when the mountain peaks over the plains. As you approach the mountain, you see a city built into it. You see different layers going up the mountain and presumably within. At the front of the city is a large wall and sturdy gate. As you approach, the human guards look down, see Eris, and immediately open the gates.
You enter the city. For those that have never been, it's a wonder. Rock homes and shops are everywhere. Steel, rock, and iron dominate the scenery. You see dwarves running to and fro, all of them seem to be unarmed with the exception of a few with picks and shovels. Everything seems to be mechanical, which is highly uncommon everywhere except here. You leave your cart at the stables and Eris tells you to follow him.
Eris leads you to a shop, not too far into the city. A sign on the outside reads Kashin's Inventions. Inside is like nothing you have ever seen: vials of various sizes and shapes and colors are everywhere, sometimes dripping into each other, weapons and items of all shapes and sizes hang on walls and lie in cases. There are only two people in the store, a gnome who seems to be moving from vial to vial talking to himself, and a female human behind a counter.
