The perpetual destruction and re-forming of Dal Quor, the Region of Dreams, means that the quori who infest present-day Eberron know nothing of the history of their forebears who invaded Xen’drik forty thousand years ago. Nonetheless, the Dreaming Dark discovered long ago that the quori in Xen’drik built the first creation forges, and it has sent a number of expeditions into the interior in search of such sites over the years. Many factions do not want the quori to succeed in their quest, chief among them the leaders of House Cannith, who discovered such forges before the Last War and wish to maintain a monopoly on their secrets.
Recently Vaslo d’Cannith, a high-level artificer of the Fabricators Guild, came under a psionic dominate effect by a member of the Dreaming Dark. Vaslo has since revealed the location of a ruined quori creation forge and is leading a group of Inspired to the site. House Cannith has learned of this treachery and hopes to stop the group before the forge is breached.
