Master Bellovar was once counted among the great vanished archmages of Asuwa, a reclusive savant of transmutation, conjuration, and clockwork craft whose greatest achievements predated the discovery of jumpstone. Long before that crystal reshaped the limits of arcane engineering, Bellovar was said to have built impossible mechanisms by spellcraft alone. His manse was rumored to be one of his finest works: an estate folded into an unassuming shell, far larger within than without, where brass servants tended endless halls and arcane engines turned in perfect rhythm. For generations, the place was dismissed as legend, its location lost to warped roads, unreliable maps, and old magic that seemed determined to be forgotten.

Now the **Clockwork Manse of Master Bellovar** has been found. A cracked threshold stands where no manor was marked before, lights burn behind dust-stained windows, and small mechanical figures have been seen repairing the grounds beneath the cover of night. Nearby folk report missing tools, dismantled locks, vanished arcane contraptions, and the deep sound of gears turning beneath the earth. Whatever kept Bellovar’s manse hidden has begun to fail, and someone must step inside before its awakened mechanisms reach beyond the walls.
