" Within the walls of the brigand city Iod dwell the Tinkerer's and Artisans, the twin houses of the Smithing Guild. These bizarre spellsmiths combine their affinity for the magical arts as well as their inherent skill at the forge to create a most unusual array of devices. Most of these miraculous, mechanical wonders are never seen by the masses for fear of comgin to Iod. Though the thieves and robbers of Iod have no trouble making use of the Smithing Guild's creations and it is a rare sight indeed to find a resident of Iod that is not attached, merged, or strapped to some object that is whizzing, whirring, or glowing!

This is a functioning recreation drawn from the preserved designs, sadly this unit is incapable of creating flight as both the magical and alchemical processes which produced theis ability have been lost.
