Description:
This book is used to get instruction about how to use the forge machinery, very useful during the quest "The Ultimate Weapon", helping to forge a mithril weapon or other iron weapons in the dwarf forge.

Content:
Human imagination has always given our society fantastic inventions. Everyone can remember the gigantic balloons kept aloft by hot air which gave us such great capacity for exploration in the past.

They also provided an excellent surveillance system against invasions, allowing us to keep watch over great distances.

⠀

Another of the most fabulous inventions ever conceived, was the submarine.

⠀

This marvelous construction brought us a new means for fighting off pirates and goblin fleets. This gave us naval supremacy during the dark years of chaos and dispair.

⠀

Lord Marko, creator of this priceless invention, is one of the most celebrated heroes in the whole of Arx. But, the greatest human invention is undoubtedly the underground kingdom of Arx.

Perhaps it is not so much an invention as the conversion of an existing structure. Its origins are that of an old dwarf mine with a particularly effective ventilation system.

⠀

Already a splendid structure, it has became even more impressive thanks to the way humans have organized it...

The old mine became a truly autonomous world, using all available space. Each known race was granted a level, in accordance with the treaty signed in the year 217. This kingdom is a living demonstration of what human determination can achieve.
