The Kech Shaarat goblins have numerous schemes to unite the Dhakaani clans under the Bladebearer banner. One such plan focused on beating the Wordbearer goblins to an artifact called the Ashen Crown. A group of adventurers defeated the goblins in this quest, but other missions are moving forward. One involves the capture of a destroyed creation forge and the forbidden creature within it. The Bladebearers have an unlikely ally in this goal: an eladrin artificer working for the Brelish government.

"Heart of the Forbidden Forge" is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure for five 7th-level characters in the Eberron campaign setting. If the PCs have been through the events in Seekers of the Ashen Crown, this adventure can be easily slotted after the events of that one have concluded. Characters do not need to have been involved with Seekers of the Ashen Crown to play through “Heart of the Forbidden Forge.” The adventure works fine for other PCs as well, and it can be adapted easily to another campaign setting.
