You have learned that the reason the Lord of Blades attacked the Cannith Manufactury was to gain access to an ancient Creation Forge located beneath the complex. Ceros d'Cannith wants you to venture down to Eldritch Site Prime deep inside the Cannith Manufactury and stop the Lord of Blades before he learns the secrets of the Creation Forge.

 * The (Optional) Talk down the Warforged converts actaully lists the DC's required to talk them down unlike most NPC dialog.. However unsurprisingly these DC's are wrong. They list DC65 Initim/Bluff. But they are actaully DC55. Warforged characters will see the correct DC listed.
