History

There were 7 ruined constructs created in this world. They were created by the Artisan, a noble gnome, who sought to bring peace to world by creating the strongest machines ever in existence. For centuries they did. Foolishly for the Artisan, he didn't factor in his own mortality, and so disappeared, never to be seen. Model 1 (the first creation) was an exact replica of the artisan, able to repair the models, but not itself. Some tales say it still lies in the dark halls of the Artisans lair.
