The Core of the Anvil

At the heart of The Warden’s Anvil lies the Grand Recycler Shardwright, commanded by Admiral Kraxal Vornath, “The Furnace Warden.” This massive flagship serves as both the nerve center and lifeblood of the fleet, consuming battlefield debris to rebuild and reinforce its forces mid-combat.
