All House Cannith branches, particularly Merrix’s Cannith South, regularly send explorers into the Mournland, seeking to reacquire some of the lost research and creations from Whitehall and other strongholds. Merrix has offered a standing reward for any information leading to the rediscovery of such research. In addition to the known house holdings, rumor speaks of an enormous cache of Cannith weapons and creations hidden somewhere in the Field of Living Spells. Depending on what stories one hears, this cache contains traditional magic weapons, advanced warforged or golems, an actual creation forge, eternal staffs, or even a magic generator that allows the creation of items without drawing on the life energy (experience points) of the creator. If any of these rumors are true, the value of this cache could be incalculable—assuming anyone can locate it and survive long enough to retrieve its contents.
Explorers’ tales span the spectrum, including: The cache is guarded by constructs larger than the mighty warforged titans and capable of sinking into the earth when inactive; the living spells were birthed in this installation, and rush to defend it; the destruction of the cache carved a path direct to Khyber, one less difficult for creatures from below to traverse; all warforged that enter the region immediately turn into mindless killing machines.
