The automotons learned long ago that interaction causes strife and strife causes unhappiness.That is why the population is now dropping, and they have chosen to become a lure.  Well, the original creators wanted to be left alone- they had magic wardings that sealed the entrance to the valley where the city lies. The automotons know how to open/close it.Why? hmm. One of the automoton leaders use to be the teacher of the young- it knows all the stories of heroics. They kidnap the leader of a trade caravan and let the others run to report the ambush. The know heroes will come to save them, and when those heroes fail- other heroes will come. The original creators would sell the magic items made by their students- in exchange for the silks, rare foods, and whatever else the passing merchants would bring.Once they made the automotons, they released a by-product of their operation was that the grease used in them would becoming enchanted to permanetly be under a light spell.They had begun to use bottle the glowing goo and sell it to merchants- who would sell it to cities. Most of the nearby cities have street lights, and the automotons now carry on this trade to have those silks, rare foods, and other things that make people happy.Just some ideas..FD</blockquote>
