The Wyrmsmith's Hoard of Themberchaud

Beneath a vaulted forge carved into the living rock, the legendary Wyrmsmith Themberchaud once coaxed molten wyrm-metal into filigree and scale. Your party descended into cooling forges, ash-strewn anvils and collapsed bellows where no defenders remained—perhaps Themberchaud fled, perhaps he was taken, but he left behind a curated cache of materials, finished curios and half-finished projects. The haul reads like the inventory of a master smith more than a dragon's simple hoard: rare ingots and tinkering components, partially worked scale-plates, and small, enchanted trinkets that bear the faint imprint of draconic heat. This loot is tailored to a 9th-level party experienced enough to salvage high-value crafting reagents, custom gear, and items with latent magic that can be unlocked by a skilled artificer or spellcaster.
