Stalovnik

One of the last strongholds of automatons and animators, continues to produce a significant number of these mechanical marvels each year. The city of Stalovnik supports this industry with numerous foundries, blacksmiths, machine shops, and a substantial academy primarily focused on technical magic. There is a sizable temple of Gardemon, small market, a port and the great guild of slayers. The latter are known for their expert skills at killing monstrous creatures that reside in the surrounding lands. Beside shear combat skills they are masters at setting traps, tracking, and if necessary capturing beasts.

Located on the city’s eastern side, a small port serves as a hub for summer expeditions. Miners embark on ships from this port to explore different seams on the Frozen Isles, where valuable ores can be unearthed. Deeper underground, near the ruins of Smokov, crystal mines yield materials necessary for crafting automatons. These miners have the potential to gain great wealth, as these regions are rich in ores. However, they are also exceptionally dangerous, with threats like harpogons, southern drakes, and flounder sharks lurking in the mist. Because of the constant threat, each mining expedition is accompanied by skilled hunters capable of fending such creatures.  

In the distant past, when the city was much larger, it boasted a significant port with numerous ships navigating frigid waters. However, since the catastrophe that befell the Frozen Isles, only the manufacturing of automatons has stood the test of time and continued to be a thriving industry in Stalovnik.
