There are tales from deep within the Ironchaff Plain of monstrous walking constructs. Water drivers, caravanners, Kharadron traders, and half mad zealots speak of sand and rust covered automatons that rise up out of the dunes and emptiness to aimlessly walk the deep regions of the Ironchaff Plain .
The citizens of Slivers have taken to calling these things The Beacons due to the reports that these creatures carry braziers atop their frames, where a unnatural flame glows and can be seen for leagues away.
So, dear traveler, if you see strange lights upon the plain, take care, for little is know of the purpose or temperament of these things.
