Thalra Ironforge came from the mountains to the capital of the Hofferson Empire, Clockston Capital, to further develop her mechanical inventions in her workshop. She proved at a young age that precision and determination rival her strength. When news of the city's construction of a special steam-powered mechanical device reached Thalra, she decided to leave home and take her fate into her own hands. Her workshop is now open to all interested parties, and anyone who enters is immediately confronted with the expertise and creativity that characterizes Thalra's work. Thalra's day is going by just like the others, she's working in her workshop, sunlight is filtering in through the window, out on the street, passersby are going about their business, and sometimes a shout can be heard from one of the workers. A street child runs away laughing. Everything is going as usual. Thalra gets hungry around noon, so she goes out into the street, closes her workshop, and heads to a nearby inn, The Gear and Steam Cloud
