''In the Dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor's society there are names that are infinitely respected. Among these, the one of Bál-Khan the Master Armorer is not the least. Rare are the lords of the Dwarves that can boast about wearing armor forged by the Master. His fantastic suits of armor, true masterpieces of the smith's art, are priceless items worth their weight in gold.'' | |||
''Bál-Khan now spends most of his time on research and development. With his younger brother Fenggar he has developed an incredible amount of inventions made to improve the potential and the quality of the steam machines. Yet as promising as it may be, an invention must always be thoroughly tested at the risks and perils of the one experimenting. For this Fenggar has gathered a small number of trustworthy Dwarves around him that are reckless enough to test the still highly instable machines. Among them are Bál-Khan's sons, Lor-Arkhon and Lothan, and also Aegher, Fenggar's first assistant. Before each battle the members of the Brotherhood of Bronze carefully check all of their armor.'' | |||

A result of 1 remains a failure. | |||
