Hall of Wonder (Utter East)

The Hall of Wonder was a great workshop situated in the Wu Pi Te Shao Mountains in the Utter East of southeast Faerûn.

History
During the time of the Bloodforge Wars (648–657 DR), the Hall of Wonder was the secret base of the mad inventor Wormskull the Artificer, where he designed and built his inventions. During the Nuts and !Bolts (sic) conflict, Garrulos the Occasionally Good came to the Hall of Wonder to confront his brother Wormskull over the theft of the Pearl of Power. In one version of events, the artificer revealed he'd installed the Pearl inside a great machine, creating the terrible Juggernaut, and Garrulos was forced to destroy it in a bloodforge battle. In another, in which the Juggernaut was not yet built, Garrulos simply found his brother there and they fought a bloodforge battle, but Wormskull was victorious.

Later, the Hall of Wonder was occupied by one Moro Mitedigger, who sold malfunctioning devices and swindled customers in surrounding towns. The leader of the Legendary Campaign came across some of the victims and heard their story, then went to the Hall of Wonder to stop Moro, with the two waging a bloodforge battle there.

At one point, the workshop was home to a group of dwarf smiths, until Willem Warblade forced them out. Thereafter, they hid in the foothills, angrily cursing the intruder. The Legendary Campaign leader discovered them there, then returned to the Hall of Wonder to evict Willem in another bloodforge battle.

Finally, the great inventor Eldura Moreen worked tirelessly within the Hall of Wonder to discover the essence of the bloodforge. But the leader of the Legendary Campaign resolved that no-one should know the secret of what the gods had wrought, and went there to put an end to Eldura's quest in a bloodforge battle.
