As a matter of pride, they stay alive by their wits, and apply only those powers of nature that may be released through rational processes.

While ridiculing mages for the menace they inflict upon the world, Boush and his Tinker colleagues arrogantly pull open a gateway to some realm beyond conception and escorted in some nightmares of their own. A black mist rose from the cavernous centre of the Violet Plateau, cloaking it in permanent darkness from which sounds of terror continuously radiate.
