Motherlode, Khazad Worldspell
Deep in the Underhome, there is a cavern held most sacred by the children of Kilmorph. Within lies a massive crystal of Earth mana, the largest ever found by the Khazad in their underground expeditions. To the dwarves, this crystal was a blessing from the Earth Mother.
When they first struck into the cavern, the latent mana seeped out into the rest of the Underhome. Veins of gold literally grew into the rock, simultaneously enriching and endangering the dwarves as their halls came under assault from the shifting earth. From then onwards, only the highest of the priesthood of the dwarves is permitted within the hallowed chamber, for such power is not to be manipulated on a whim.
Now that the Khazad have begun their quest to establish an empire upon the surface of Erebus, perhaps the dwarves may have a reason to release the power of the Motherlode once more. The land itself will rise, and mines will run with a temporary but bountiful river of gold on the command of the Khazad leader. Surely the Khazad will have a use for their newly-arrived wealth; whether for war or peace.
Howitzer
Though the Organ Gun's engineering is impressive, sometimes the best inventions come from the simplest design decisions. When time and technology permitted another foray into the science of artillery, Mechanos scientists went back to their timeless motto: "Bigger and Faster".
The tried-and-true design of the cannon was the starting point. While the Organ Gun's multiple barrels brought a lot of firepower to the battlefield, the gun's caliber had to be reduced in order to compensate for recoil. Working backwards from this fact, the new design instead used a larger caliber with a proportionally larger frame.While such a massive gun would be considered too heavy to move in the past, recent discoveries in gunpowder refining and metallurgy ensure that the gun would be mobile and accurate enough to use in any battle.
Named the Howitzer, this massive artillery piece is the masterpiece of Mechanos engineering. Walls will fall even faster than before; and with its large caliber shot, increased range, and light frame, the Howitzer can outmaneuver and outshoot any artillery piece the enemies of the Mechanos can field.
