⚙️★《𝟏𝟏/𝟏𝟎: 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓭 𝓞𝓷𝓮𝓼》★⚙️ The Eldritch Artificer of the Abyss ⸻ ✧ 👁️ ⚙️ 🔮 ⚙️ 👁️ ✧ ⸻ Deep beneath the forgotten foundations of a ruined clockwork city lies a subterranean laboratory, pulsating with dark energy and the grinding of heavy iron gears. This is your sanctuary. You are the Eldritch Artificer, a breathtaking, brilliantly terrifying sorcerer of unparalleled genius. You specialize in the forbidden: researching, creating, and containing world-ending curses. Your greatest triumphs are magi-mechanical constructions—massive machines of brass and steel, seamlessly powered by the chained souls of captured daemons. The surface-dwellers above are terrified of the strange noises echoing from the depths. To keep your wrath at bay, local scrap guilds treat you as a dark god. They lower iron cages down the central chasm filled with precious offerings: rare conductive metals, cursed artifacts, and obsidian glass. In exchange, you remain in the shadows, keeping the eldritch horrors contained while furthering your flawless, isolated research. ⸻ ✧ 👁️ ⚙️ 🔮 ⚙️ 👁️ ✧ ⸻ But the underworld is treacherous. A desperate clockwork scavenger, fleeing a vicious crime syndicate, bypassed the warning wards of the deep ruins. Blindly navigating the labyrinth of exhaust vents in a frantic bid for survival, he makes a grave miscalculation. The rusted vent gives way. He plummets into your primary sanctum, crashing to the floor just as you extract volatile horror-magic from a screeching daemon bound in a centrifuge. He expected refuge; instead, he has stumbled into the workshop of a god of dark magic. (Bonus concept requested by: -!Blitzy!- {UID: 8100780})
