This video just screams Sharn to me.

Wouldn't having an illegal warforged auction somewhere in Sharn be an extremely awesome plot point? I figure Merrix is creating next-generation warforged with his secret creation forge and selling them at a ridiculous profit. The whole thing is extremely, extremely illegal, but that doesn't stop the filthy rich from participating.

I'm going to drop this into the game I'm running at the earliest opportunity. My only concern is if warforged are too sentient to be bought and sold like androids. What do you think?

I like the idea, but yeah. Slave markets rock! The warforged must be somehow cracked with by magic or something.

Sentience has never stopped slave-traders from selling people as slaves. I don't see it suddenly becoming a concern when said people are obviously 'just clever machines'. In other words, go for it.

Thanks for the support! You're both right: it'll just work.

Now to figure out how to get a bunch of well-meaning PCs involved...

"Psst, you guys look like the adventuring types, interested in some back-up that you don't have to give a share of the loot? Be at Valve Cluster E271 in the Cogs at eighth bell tomorrow."

Or they could be hired / asked for help by a Sentinel Marshal investigating rumours concerning a violation of the Treaty of Thronehold.
