mechanika based on Kerwin’s theories. They<br />

succeeded in creating a stable arcanodynamic<br />

accumulator. The keg-sized device stored sufficient<br />

charge to power an arcane light source, so the<br />

Crucible frantically began work on making the device<br />

lighter, more powerful, and smaller.<br />

Inspired by the struggles of the Iron Fellowship at<br />

the onset of the Rebellion, the free cities of western<br />

Immoren united and <strong>for</strong>med the Iron Alliance.<br />

Comprised of armies from the cities of Korsk,<br />

Rorschik, Leryn, and Caspia, they came together<br />

under the banner of the newly-<strong>for</strong>med Council of<br />

Ten in 164 AR. The Iron Alliance declared open war<br />

against the Orgoth.<br />

The Colossals<br />

The Rebellion was a time of rapid mechanikal<br />

advancement. The Immorese desperately developed<br />

new technology they hoped would give them the<br />

edge over their oppressors. The most dramatic<br />

of these was the Colossal. The development of<br />

these great machines is traced back to Maximillian<br />

Nivin, an alchemist and early arcane mechanik that<br />

developed a small steam-powered automaton. The<br />

key to Nivin’s construct was the cerebral matrix, a<br />

simple mechanikal brain that enabled his creation to<br />

respond to simple verbal commands. Nivin presented<br />

his work to the Fraternal Order of Wizardry, and they<br />

granted him immediate membership into their Order.<br />

He continued working into his elder years, and Nivin,<br />

along with his apprentice Elias Decklan, produced<br />

a man-sized automaton in 158 AR. Although Nivin<br />

passed away soon after finishing the creation, Decklan<br />

continued and began to innovate the design.<br />

After spending years realizing Nivin’s theoretical<br />

concepts, Decklan developed ambitious plans <strong>for</strong> a<br />

towering construct he called a Colossal, a steam and<br />

magic driven behemoth intended to stamp out the<br />

Orgoth presence once and <strong>for</strong> all. Decklan presented<br />

his plans to the Council of Ten and convinced them<br />

that his Colossal would escalate the field of war to<br />

the point where the Orgoth, lacking the capacity to<br />

manufacture mechanika, would be helpless against<br />

them. For the next decade the greatest human minds<br />

in western Immoren drafted, debated, and shaped the<br />

most significant project ever attempted.<br />
