Book Text:

Meldrath and his apprentices,
exiled from Ak'Anon and
collectively dubbed the Asylum
of the Mad, began construction
of a fortress deep in the
Steamfont Mountains.
For years the Asylum of
the Mad constructed
clockwork war-machines,
far more advanced than
any clockworks previously
constructed by the
tinkers, that plagued the
Watchmen of Ak'Anon.

Meanwhile Meldrath's
influence festered within
Ak'Anon, in what are now
known as the Mines of
Malfunction. Evil
gnomes practicing the dark
arts first brought to Ak'Anon
by Meldrath the Mad took
refuge in the destruction of



the mines where they practiced
their dark arts and recruited
other gnomes to their wicked
ways. These evil gnomes,
surrounded by death and
destruction, abandoned their
patron deities Brell Serilis
and Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane,
and vowed allegiance to the
dark god, Bertoxxulous. Thus
the Dark Reflection was born.

Eventually the Asylum of the
Mad were captured, slain, or
disappeared, never to be seen
again. Meldrath however
remains at large, plotting and
executing his mad schemes.
The mad sorcerer has somehow
earned the allegiance of a
tribe of minotaurs that
capture gnomes to toil in
Meldraths mines and complete
his twisted mechanical



fortress. Many of the Eldrich
Collective have speculated as
to the nature of Meldraths
madness and talents with both
sorcery and mechanics.
As long as Meldrath still
lives they may have a
chance to discover
the answers they seek.
