Prologue

Todd: The golden proportion. The gauge of all the mechanisms. No artificer has managed to calculate it yet; you can only feel it as you take off the excess metal, move after move, until your entire being begins chanting: here it comes, the perfection! Then you inevitably find a defect in other part, and so it goes day after day, year after year… I nearly lost my mind in this endless cycle, but as I was coming to the brink, someone sent me this scheme. I have no idea what sort of imperfection it holds. Maybe I don’t have the right knowledge. However, one thing I do know for sure; no one has ever come closer to bringing such a thing to life than me.

Bertram: Ah, if only the scientists knew how much their theories cost... If they ever tried to plan the purchases, the hiring, the rent in advance, saving themselves the trouble of paying hundredfold in rush fees. So many ambitious projects succumbed to wasted resources before my eyes! And many a projct did I save, lending the creators a hand in the form of bias-free expertise, and, of course, some coin. No, I dare not call myself the biggest driver of progress; still, there's only one dwarf in Burton who can pull off such a monumental project.

Epilogue

Bertram: Rejoice, you halfling girl: Kastore himself goes out on a limb to get you out of this labyrinth. Well, of course you aren’t the reason I’m here, but I sure could use the good rap that comes with being your savior. For now, however, there are bigger things to attend to: knowledge lost in aeons, and forgotten wonders! This tomb is replete with them. Just this tiny speck in your hands holds unspoken power. Very soon, I swear, I will make it serve me, and me only, just like your friend with his freshly-found insight into the nature of things already does. My immediate plans are clear… and Deyja can wait for its king for a bit.
