The Severed Weave: Goblins of the Balanced Armory

Deep in the Underdark, the legendary Iron-Wall Armory is a self-regulating forge complex where ancient, animated shields patrol the halls as guardians. For centuries, a delicate system of 'balancing cords'—woven from rare deepstone fibers—maintained equilibrium between the armory's powerful magical forges and its structural integrity. Recently, a desperate tribe of Scavenger Goblins, fleeing a drow pogrom, severed the cords to harvest the fibers for their own survival, unknowingly triggering a catastrophic cascade. The animated shields have gone berserk, indiscriminately attacking anything that moves, and the armory's ancient defenses are destabilizing. Two groups now seek to control the situation: the last surviving Dwarven Artificers of the Armory, who believe the system can be restored at any cost, and the Goblin Scavengers, who claim the fibers are the only thing preventing their tribe's extinction from a magical plague. The players are trapped in the middle, forced to navigate a warzone of rogue constructs and desperate factions, where every choice to help one side is a condemnation of the other.
