Synopsis
Adventure Start: The party is present on the Hand of Stalwart Reverie to take part in the ritual to restore sanity to the giant clan, but the appearance of a fragment of the draconic prophecy disrupts the ritual and the PCs are directed on a mission to recover bodies to put the giants into.
Part One: The party meets with their Blackwheel Company contact who admits that the company does indeed have a creation forge that they have recovered from the wilds of Xen'drik . It would be possible to create warforged titan bodies for the giants to inhabit, but to properly control the bodies will require dozens of docents which cannot be made. However, there may be some in ancient ruins tied to the creation forge.
Part Two: Entering into the ruins, the party finds that guardians still remain in order to get inside, they will have to fight.
Part Three: Once inside the ruins, the party is able to locate the docents they require but a set of final guards stand in their way.
Part Four: The party takes the docents and infiltrates the Blackwheel Company's creation forge where they corrupt the process in order to start a whole new line of warforged titans possessed of the intelligence of ancient cloud giant psions . It is likely that a fight ensues and the PCs must be careful to hide all signs of their presence and leave quietly.
Ending the Adventure: The adventure ends as the first Deondag the Master of Rites is created as the first of the new titans.
