Storyline

The duergar psionic master, Grondar, has long been obsessed with the power of the mind and has spent years searching for a way to harness that power for his personal gain. When he and his band of duergar raiders discovered the ancient ruins of a long-lost dwarven forge hidden deep in the mountains, he saw it as the perfect opportunity to achieve his goals. The forge holds the legendary Ironsong, whose flames can manufacture magical weapons and armor.

Grondar and his duergar set to work, using his psionic powers and living sacrifices to corrupt Ironsong into a forge capable of imbuing weapons with psionic power—a Mindforge. They began producing powerful psionic weapons, including swords and shields imbued with psychic energy, and selling them to the highest bidder. As word of Grondar's activities spread, it attracted the attention of the Stormbelly dwarves, the original owners of the forge before they were forced out of their home by the Dark Horde thousands of years ago. Unwilling to let the dark dwarves twist their long-lost legacy, Admiral Joslyn Stormbelly gathered her crew to reclaim the Ironsong and take down Grondar and his duergar. The oceanic dwarves met resistance from Grondar's allies, including drow, ogres, and deep gnomes, who each see the Mindforge as a source of power for their clans. Admiral Stormbelly believes her forces can distract Grondar’s allies while a smaller group can sneak behind the enemy lines and assault the forge directly. As each day passes, Grondor’s control over the Mindforge increases, and he can forge more weapons to defeat the oceanic dwarven forces.
