==The Nad'lun struggle with the Forge==

Over eager Nad'lun learn the hard way cannons are not safe. One tribesman dies, and multiple bruised and unconscious members are found. Attempts to create forges meet with failure. Even with the aid of the Onolkeshan. Mounting the cannons on their boats provides some measure of control, but is only a guaranteed hit at extremely close range.

The Nad'lun attempt to build a forge again, as they dislike being dependent on others for necessary tools.

They attempt to expand to the shores of one of the great lakes, near the mountain range at the middle of the continent (the cyan dot.), in hopes that the mountainous terrain will give them access to stone, so that they don't need to buy it from the enclave. They also try to figure out the best way to dig trough the hard stone, and how to effectively break rock.

Anyhow, Nad'Lun seems to have bad luck with forges and metal. Their latest attempt at digging a mine and researching new ways to mine are a fluke, and their attempts at a forge was not adequate enough to re-melt bought metal. As the Shaman searches the Soul Wind, the Shaman finds that there's a deluge of magical trickery behind all this. Has the trickster spirit returned to see An'ua's descendants? Only time will tell.

THE LEM! THE LEM MUST BE BEHIND THIS! THOSE BASTARDS! I CALL SHENANIGANS! SABOTAGE! Yells the enraged hoppa on the boat.

The Nad'Lun gets a break from the metallurgy-related bad luck and managed to make a functioning forge.

Although the forge is crude and primitive when compared to its Onolkeshan counterparts, it is the first step for the Nad'lun to become self-sufficient with metal production.

It also serves as a symbol for them, as now they don't need to rely on others for their necessities. They don't dislike other species, but they resent the idea of being dependent on outsiders.
