Gas Forges
The Gas Forges, located in the Wharf District of Riddleport, are as of 4708 AR the only forges in Varisia capable of smelting adamantine and other high-hardness metals. It is owned and operated by a secretive dwarven consortium123 based in Janderhoff.1
Structure
The Forges are housed in a massive structure of brick and iron with dozens of chimneys.
A large deposit of carbauxine, a rare gas normally found deep in the Darklands, lies beneath Riddleport. Carbauxine is a poisonous, heavier-than-air gas that is difficult to work with, but carbauxine forges are immensely valuable in metalcrafting.4
Staff
The forges are owned by an anonymous consortium of dwarves who live in Janderhoff. They trust the daily running of the Gas Forges to Tromard Roldheim. Its dwarven laborers wear crude breathing masks as they work, which offers minimal protection from the caustic gas; even the hardiest of dwarves who survive years of work in the forge to retire wealthy soon die from ailments such as black lung or liver failure.1
