BEYOND THE SHIELD

Drill City Nine was built around a machine so large that the settlement eventually took its name from the drill rather than the other way around. When the shield withdrew, evacuation orders came too late to save most of the industrial equipment.

Long-range observers occasionally report lights, vibrations, or exhaust-like plumes from the region. Nobody knows whether some ancient machinery is still operating, whether Xanaras has incorporated it, or whether Feeders have learned that dwarven engines are useful. Diesel Dwarves are deeply offended by the third possibility.
