Near to the heavens and yet outside their gates, this creation of clockwork creatures is the home plane of the mechadrons (see Monster Vault). It is not their first home. Their world was lost to the Void long ago, when Mechadron Prime led his clockwork people on the Great Exodus. They built the world of Armillary from a single living gear salvaged from their home world. It is inhabited by mechadrons, gearforged, and a small number of trusted dwarves and celestial sydereans. The world exists as four rings around a central arcane sun; there is no night, for mechadrons rarely require rest, merely repair and renewal at the Great Forge when a part wears out. The mechadrons have a boundless appetite for metals, coal, and workable stone, constantly working to expand their small world into a larger one. They speak of “The Fifth Ring,” a project that may take centuries to bring into being.
