Campaign Overview

In the walled city of Veridian Gate, the ancient robot guardian known as the Iron Sentinel stands vigilant atop the gatehouse. A shadowy cabal seeks to awaken a dormant war engine that could shatter the realm. The party must locate the Silence Shard, a relic rumored to pacify or reprogram the Sentinel, and use it to stop the villain before catastrophe.

Setting & Key Locations

• Gatehouse & Wall Walk: sentinels, rumors, and the trek to danger.


• Clockwork District & Forger Quarter: guild halls, tinkers, rivalries, and schematics.


• Archivist's Spire: forbidden tomes about the Silence Shard.


• Undercity Ruins: clockwork traps and forgotten vaults.


• Vault of Echoes: the shard’s resting place.

Hooks

A courier offers a fortune; city council intrigue hints at a founder’s secret; rumors say the Sentinel remembers its past.

Challenges & Rewards
