In Dragon magazine #349 they talk about nearby dungeons and possible side adventures. With the Dungeon of Rust and Fire they say that scholars believe it to be related to the ruined gnome enclave of Jzadirune below Cauldron. Can anyone tell me more about this gnomish enclave? I assume it is from the Shackled city adventure path.
Thanks much!

It is from the SCAP. Jzadirune was the gnomish enclave that was hidden below Cauldron. It was a center of gnomish magical and technical research. Yet, a few decades ago (I don't remember the exact timeline), all the gnomes vanished leaving behind a dead city below the city.
Jzadirune faded from memory, with its gnome populations. They left behind some interesting art and illusions and magical items.
spoiler alert....
The cause of the gnome disapearence was an infection, the Vanishing, which was transmitted through the magic items created in Jzadirune.
hmm... thank you that helps some for sure. Is there anymore information on Jzadirune or the Vanishing?
It's all in the Shackled City Adventure Path hardcover. $60 well spent.
I would, and maybe someday will, buy SCAP but I'm just finishing up Age of Worms and gearing up to start Savage Tide. We kinda missed the whole shackled city bit. So here goes another year where I'm not going to be getting to play. But I must say that I enjoy DMing very much.
Well I can assume that if it was made by gnomes that the dungeon of Rust and Fire should contain plenty of mechanical hazards and illusions, with perhaps a hint of creepy.
Sounds like fun!
