Taken from Prometheus' Travel diary

One night I had a very strange dream, it was like someone was trying to contact me from far away. That morning when I woke up I felt I needed to search out the source of the dream

I stocked up on equipment for my long journey, and went off on my quest. My journey took me to a far off land where most can't imagine. On my 10th night I had almost given up hope of finding what I was looking for

So I had decided that it was time to head back, but I would leave in the morning. I was awoken by some kind of festival, I quickly gathered up my stuff and tried to find where the noise was coming from. I entered a large clearing and saw a giant bonfire with hundreds of gnomes dancing, laughing, smoke and drinking

As I entered the festival, a very old gnome who's gname was Tyrm (I would find this out later) welcomed me to there land and invited me to there party, it was the night of the summer solstice, so I danced, sang, and drank with the until I passed out. I awoke that morning to find that no one was around. But I did see some kind of entrance in the nearby ground, so like any good gnome I entered with out thinking. As I stepped inside I was entangled in a large net. Then a group of gnomes dragged me off to a large cavern

Tyrm greeted me and apologized for the trap. He said it was an early warning system for invading monsters. He then showed me some of the most amazing things gizmos and gadgets for everything you could think of. Walls full of them, he took time to show me every one, I was so awe struck. Then he took me to his private workroom

There was this giant machine, he told me this was his societies ultimate invention, he told me that every gnomish society has one (at least ancient gnomish societies). Each invention is the life work of the society, they spend there time enchanting and changing it, some have been so powerful they could destroy cities, some have been so wonderful that they can instill life

We talked for hours and hours, exchanging ideas and concepts, I told him about my gnomes and he was amazed that other gnome societies existed in this day and age.

I asked his how does one start on the ultimate invention, he told me that each society received the initial plans from a set of blue prints that have been around for hundreds of years. Then he opened his giant book of blue prints. Pulled out a few pages and handed them to me

I looked over the blue prints and was amazed at what could be done, and then he told me "I have given you the blue prints just as they were given to me. As you will give to someone else, it is up to you and your society to expand and work with them until your society gone

Then he bopped me over the head with a large staff with a big gnose on the top of it, and then gave me food and supplies and told me it was time for me to go

Was I was walking away from the village, I was thinking that I didn't want to leave and I should go back and learn more. At that instant I heard a giant boom. I tried to see what happened but all I could see was this giant ball of fire erupting from the ground. I then here a noise from above. I see a gnome flying high in the sky, it was Tyrm the blast must have shot him into the sky. He was shouting, "have fun" and that was the last I heard and saw

I then continued home to show my gnomes of what I have seen and let them see the blue prints
