Steel Nation.  He tried to collect the pieces like so many others.   But there were too many forces.    Worse- it was like a strange force of fate was involved.   Pieces would be stolen or lost once found and collected.  It was only recently all parts were gathered and remained together…. As if allowed or given permission by a higher force.Then his dreams that revealed the power of the Schema changed and showed a new aspect… a new player.   A crazed warforged from another plane-  Xulo-12.    She believes herself to be a “sister” or the such to himself.  He saw that if she were allowed to harness the power of the Schema she would control her world then officially invade Eberron.    The 100 Year War would seem like a mere argument in comparison.He had to act.  He had to correct his wrongs.  His visions revealed a ruin in Xen’drik.  This is where Xulo-12 would try to collect the Schema.   Others would be there also.   Including that most annoying human of humans- John Play.    He will send agents to keep the Schema away from her.So- thirty hand-picked warriors were sent to Darguun and secretly took a ship to Stormreach.  They marched endlessly through the jungle and mountains.   They fought many strange creatures and experienced the “Curse of Xen’drik” for themselves.    Magic sometimes warped but even time warped.   They would see a group of adventurers once under the employment of Kim Elderich.    Then they would see their dead bodies…. Only weeks later see them again.    The sooner they were finished with this land the better.Then came the Linnorn.This dragon like snake attacked suddenly and savagely.  It tore into the warforged troops.   Warriors were rendered and thrown around.   Few escaped.Of those few- they faced Mountain Trolls and a powerful Giant Lich.    Only one survived.   SN-4.   One of the 88…. Arsenal.He has a decision to make.   He wants to fulfill his lord’s wishes and commands but cannot now by himself.   He reached the ruins and witnessed the arrival of Kim Elderich and John Play.   Others were with them also.   Powerful allies.The weakest one, a mere short creature of no magic or fighting skill has formed an alliance with the natives.  There is little choice then……XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxVULT  10,  999“Hey guys-Avireal and the Clan of Water Scorpions have found someone or something of importance.” Says the time traveling gnome.  Kim Elderich, John Play and Jasyne Symtex look at each other then follow Glyder Freetime to where the drow have set up camp.In the center of the group of black skinned and stark pure white tattooed elves stands a warforged with over-sized hands and twin knobs on his shoulders.Play frowns deeply.  “I know of this warforged.  He works for the Lord of Blades.”“Dark lantern Play- The Lord of Blades gives his greetings.   And to each of you also.”“How do the two of you know each other?” asks the dwarven cleric-mage.“I know of him through my ….. various missions into the Mournlands.   He is a chief defender against the undead there.   He has a knack for blowing up things…. And people.”“The two of you should be close friends then.” Says the gnome smiling.“I was sent here to stop the Creation Schema from ever being used.   I have lost my forces.  I seek an alliance.”Kim looks to everyone and sighs.   “Tell me more.”</blockquote>
