Workers Union, created the first steamjack in the year<br />

241 AR. This instrument was not intended <strong>for</strong> war but<br />

<strong>for</strong> making the lives of citizens easier. Over the next<br />

few years, steamjacks found use in all manner of heavy<br />

industry from fabrication to heavy labor, and they<br />

worked in inhospitable conditions. With an improved<br />

cortex, the steamjack followed more complex <strong>order</strong>s<br />

than a Colossal could, and they consumed less fuel and<br />

water—the amount needed to fuel a single Colossal<br />

could power between 30 to 40 steamjacks.<br />

On the down side, upset by human expansion<br />

into their lands, trollkin began waging war specifically<br />

against Cygnar around the b<strong>order</strong>s of the Thornwood<br />

and all along the banks of the Dragon’s Tongue River.<br />

The conflict became quite bloody in a short amount<br />

of time and the Cygnarans were <strong>for</strong>ced to send their<br />

Colossals against the deadly threat. Led by Cygnaran<br />

warcasters, the behemoths and their troops routed the<br />

trollkin armies. However, when a permanent Colossal<br />

Watch was established at Deepwood Tower so near to<br />

the b<strong>order</strong>, a major uproar arose from Khador.<br />

The Colossal War: The End of the Iron<br />

Giants<br />

By the end of 242 AR, Cygnar’s production of<br />

weapons and their own skilled <strong>for</strong>ce of tradesmen<br />

and alchemists had outshined Khador by far, and<br />

the indignation of the signing of the Corvis Treaties<br />

still burned in the minds of the Khadoran nobility.<br />

King Levash Tzepesci, a man of vision, sought a way<br />

to stabilize Khador’s footing so that it might remain<br />

strong over the years.<br />

King Tzepesci called <strong>for</strong> all skilled citizens<br />

of Khardic or Kossite lineage to return to their<br />

“Motherland.” In previous generations, many<br />

Khadorans had moved elsewhere to learn mechanika,<br />

magic, gunsmithing, alchemy, and all manner of craft<br />

and artifice. Few remember the incentives Tzepesci<br />

offered them: skilled tradesmen returned to a reward<br />

of coin, homes, and lifetime employment. Soon<br />

enough, alchemists and mechaniks were hard at work<br />

producing goods and weapons <strong>for</strong> Khador.<br />

The most notable men and women who answered<br />

Tzepesci’s call were wizards from the Fraternal Order.<br />

This tightly knit cabal had always held each other in<br />

high esteem not only <strong>for</strong> their heritage, but <strong>for</strong> their<br />
