warhammer 40k: Isle of the Iron Masters, Fenris, Space Wolves

Home to the only tribe of Fenrisian natives whose technological capacity stands comparable to the ancient Terran Iron Age, the inhabitants of the Isle of the Iron Masters are also unique among Fenrisians in that they do not sail the seas, they do not hunt or raid, for conquest is not in their nature. As laid down in the Ancient Pact of Leman Russ, the Iron Masters are the sole source of metalwork to the Fenrisian natives.

Every season vast fleets of dragonships will risk the torturous and nearly suicidal voyage to the Isle of the Iron Masters on the slopes of Fire Mountain and in sight of the great cliffs of Asaheim. Once they arrive in the Iron Masters' harbour, they are met by belching metal ships powered by steam engines and armed with crude but functional weaponry.
