Coggs

The Coggs lie deep beneath Sharn, below the sewers and Old Sharn. Streams of Fernian lava flow through this area, and over the centuries, House Cannith has helped Hosuth establish vast foundries that tap this mystic resource. Ashblack and Blackbones are industrial districts, largely inhabited by Warforged laborers and miserable workers of other races. It is said that House Cannith maintains a forgehold in the Ashblack District, and that this is where Baron Merrix d'Cannith conducts his experiments.

The Sharn Watch maintains a presence in the Coggs, and overseers from House Cannith are stationed here to keep things in order. Beyond these industrial districts lies the deeper tunnels of Khyber's Gate, a tenement district.

Blackbones has a number of remarkable locations. For example, the Pool of Moradin's Tears is sacred to the Lord of the Forge. The current caretaker is a warforged priest named Smith, who believes that Moradin has plans for the warforged, and that the warforged and creatures of flesh are meant to live together.

Most of the citizens of Sharn have never been to the Coggs. The area does house the bulk of the City’s warforged population, and if you’re looking for a particular warforged, it’s the best place to start. Industrial espionage and labor struggles can add drama to adventures in the great foundries, not to mention the possibility of Artificers with secret forges hidden in the Coggs.
