Anaxims are the ill-conceived designs crafted by gods of the forge. Anaxims are born not of lust, but piece by labored piece from mechanical designs inspired by apocalyptic impulses. Anaxims are constructs that were not purged as they should have been, and so gained a pseudo-life of their own. Anaxims appear as humansized conglomerations of iron, clockwork gears, shearing blades, metallic fists, and other unfamiliar moving parts of iron. Generally, they appear unbalanced, unwieldy, and ominously jutting with too many cutting implements. An anaxim takes to the air by deploying a special set of rotating blades from its back; once deployed, the blades spin over its head with a constant roar of noise and rushing air. Most failures of forge gods are never discovered, but anaxims are somehow imbued with the spark of deific might. Despite their artificial past, anaxims are animate and determined to make their own way in the world, seeking revenge for being consigned to the scrap heap by their perfectionist creators. |
