== Overview ==
It is unaligned to any of the four main [[Gods of Chaos]], and is located in the [[Formless Wastes]] of the [[Realm of Chaos]], where it is perpetually cloaked in a pall of black, oily fumes and dominated by the wailing of uncountable tortured spirits. Blind, ever-mutating [[Daemon]] craftsmen work the forges, while their black fires are fueled by the souls of the damned and the colossal screaming bellows are manned by legions of semi-sentient nightmare creatures.{{Cite ThisFn|1}}
Among the Forge's creations are the terrifying [[Soul Grinder]]s. For the chance to be fused with a mechanical construct and become a Soul Grinder, higher-ranked Daemons duel with each other in a never-ending battle in the ash plains outside the Forge. The Masters of the Forge providently make newborn Soul Grinders take the three Oaths of the Iron Pact before releasing them{{Cite ThisFn|1}}:
#All the souls harvested by the great blades of the Soul Grinder will be used for the fueling of the Forge;
#All the wrecked remains of all war machines destroyed by the [[adamantium]] claws of the Soul Grinder will be offered to the Forge;
