Alias: 'Dal'Arshaah', or 'Starflare', otherwise 'Titan Celestial Summoning stone'. Classification: Summoning Item. Location Found: Engine of the Makers. Description: An ordinary-looking, yet perfectly round stone etched with Titanic runes, when invoked, produces a magnificent, armored steed made entirely of tiny celestial bodies. A chestguard and helmet adorn the front of this beautiful creature, and a finely crafted saddle allows for even mortals to utilize it as a form of transportation.

"While I try not to make it a habit of lowering myself into seemingly bottomless pits, the Engine of the Makers was far too interesting to pass up at least a bit of exploration. 

The Engine itself, now frozen over and covered in snow, rests peacefully akin to a gigantic bronze skeleton in the midst of a wasteland, gears larger than cities that once must have turned to produce mechanical life are now iced, but lack any sort of rust. Titanic etchings cover absolutely everything, a few runes reacting to my presence, while others simply hum with dormant energy.  

I had reached as far down as I could go, as a slab of ice too thick to melt without risking reactivating more dangerous things blocked my path. There was, however, a strange device that continuously rearranged itself in one corner of this 'room'. It was too large and too foreign to displace, but as I took notes on every move it made, a sudden burst of blue from the top of the machine caused me to startle and back up, only to be conked in the head by the rock that had come flying out of it.

Alias: Dark Iron Metalwork. Classification: Blessed Item, Adornments. Location Found: Blackrock Depths. Description: A finely crafted picture made entirely of Dark Iron, the craftsmanship is such that there are even highlights and shadows burnt into the metal to create an almost third dimensional appearance. The image is of a rather smug looking fire elemental, and the piece is still exceedingly warm to the touch. 

"The Elemental Planes had always been a fascination of mine, along with ways to perhaps utilize their energies for specific purposes, but without the ability to waltz into the Firelands and go sight-seeing, I had to opt to find an informational venue a little closer to home. 

The Dark Iron dwarves had been revering and making pacts with the fire elementals for an uncomfortably long time now, and as a great deal of them had opted to make a home distressingly close to the Molten Core in reverence or servitude to the Firelord himself, these depths seemed like a perfect spot to begin my research, beginning with all of the flaming 'Ambassadors' that roamed the caverns. 

I was of course an unwelcome guest, and only through sheer excessive use of my painstakingly stored reliquaries was I able to even make it into what I could only guess was a sort of living quarters for many of the workers and guards. While you wouldn't suppose in such a dangerous environment, one would opt to appreciate the decor, I had indeed noticed what appeared to be an unframed portrait of a Fireguard on the wall.
