INSIDE THE SHIELD

Preserved deep within the Thundering Heights is the workshop traditionally identified as the place where Dieselbeard refined the first successful batch of Diesel and built the earliest engines that used it. Historians argue about how much of the current site is original. Diesel Dwarves argue that historians should stop touching things.

Several priceless artifacts have been modified over the centuries because a dwarf decided the original design could obviously be improved.
