Making

Making is a city of Cyre , once one of its major cities lying near the heart of the kingdom, and now a ruin in the dead center of the Mournland , in the middle of the Glass Plateau . [1] [2] [3] [4]

History

Some theorize that the Mourning itself began in Making. On the Day of Mourning , 20 Olarune in 994 YK , it appears that something horrible happened within, nearby, or around the city, and from there it spread out to overwhelm and destroy the entire kingdom of Cyre. [5] [6] [3] [4]

All around Making, the land of southern Cyre was hugely reshaped by the upwelling of the Glass Plateau, and weeks of earthquakes followed. [6] [4] In 997 YK , the tremors of the Glass Plateau were repeated. [6]

Geography

The city is now surrounded by a flat tableland of obsidian and jagged glass. [2] [3] Making, and everything atop the Glass Plateau, are completely inaccessible from the ground. [6] The Saerun Road once ran to Making, before it was cut by the plateau. [3]

Description

It's been described as a dead city [2] with its ruins still rising above the flat expanse of the Glass Plateau. [3] [4]

Inhabitants

The ruins of Making are home to living spells and weird creatures. [3]

Organizations

Making was the base of House Phiarlan until the Day of Mourning. Phiarlan's baron was conveniently absent from the city on that day, which prompts conspiracy theories about a connection with the catastrophe. [7]

It was also a stronghold of House Cannith . [4] Wild theories claim that Cannith maintained a secret facility deep beneath Making. [3] [4]

Making is one proposed site for the base of operations of the Blades , those warforged who follow the Lord of Blades . [8]

Interest

Many believe it was at Making that the Mourning began. [5] [6] [3] [4] They believe that the truth of it will be uncovered here too. [3] [4]
