New page

Future historians would mark 4 Summer Dawning, 206 AC as the Dawn of the Age of Hope, the Fourth Age, the end of the 2nd Interregnum. The sound of the Fifth Wish, "Mortal hands breathe life into unliving mechanisms" echoed across the world. In its wake a new race arose, innocent and searching. The soul-forged, once contraptions powered by fragments of dying souls, now a living race with their own sparks. Arising first in the forests of Byssia and in the goblin workshops and manufacturies of Byarsha in the Remnant Dynasty, they set out to forge their own destiny and discover the meaning of their existence.
