Kalazan leaves the Crag and strides into the dark, stone-lined belly of the lower Forge. The heat here is thick and stifling, smelling of scorched iron and ancient, stagnant oil.
Commander Korth
The air feels too heavy down here. Something is breathing in the walls.
Kalazan
The ironwork is humming louder than before.
Kalazan approaches the central anvil. As his hand nears the cooling metal, a series of glowing blue ley lines spiderweb across the floor, illuminating the entire forge chamber in an eerie, pulsing light.
Commander Korth
My Lord, the stones are shifting. The Pale Moon tribe has tapped into the main conduit, and it is pulling the very foundation toward the forest.
The floor beneath them buckles, and a stream of freezing vapor erupts from a freshly opened crack, winding its way toward the ceiling like a grasping, spectral finger.

“I tell the princess ant to ne confident and that sje is powerful underground and can stop them if she tries. I buff her”
SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled +0)
Kalazan turns his massive frame toward the shadows where the princess ant waits, her chitinous limbs twitching in the unnatural frost.
Kalazan
Do not tremble. You were born of these stones and you command the earth beneath us. Show them your strength.
Kalazan channels his essence, pouring his legendary will into the creature. The princess ant lets out a piercing, resonant click that vibrates through the very marrow of the mountain.
Princess Dire Ant
The ground recognizes me. I am the apex of this deep silence.
Golden amber light flares from the ant's mandibles as she stamps her legs, forcing the shifting tectonic plates to grind to an abrupt, violent halt.
Commander Korth
The tremors have ceased, my Lord. She has anchored the nursery, but the ley lines are bleeding red.
