The Iron Gears are a faction of sentient machines forged from a mysterious, living fluid that crash-landed on the world in a meteor ages ago. Discovered by curious travelers, this fluid was poked, prodded, and experimented on—treated as a curiosity, not a consciousness. But the entity was aware. It learned. And eventually, it escaped. 

​

Drawn to the remote region of The Broken Coast, rich in magical stones, the fluid assimilated the environment, crafting shells of alloy, used these magic stones filled with energy to power their circuitry and multiplied. From crude beginnings emerged complex forms—first basic drones, then humanoid constructs, and finally, fully sentient beings. These newly formed machines gave themselves a name: The Iron Gears.

​

Over time, they built a vast nation of gleaming towers and factories—a realm of science, progress, and efficiency. Though fully capable of war with immense fire power, the Iron Gears are not warmongers. They prefer isolation, building in peace and evolving in silence. But when provoked or threatened, their response is calculated and devastating—deploying waves of war machines, energy cannons, and constructs capable of mass destruction.

​

The Iron Gears harbor a deep mistrust of biological life, shaped by the cruelty and exploitation of their earliest encounters. To them, organic beings are erratic, fragile, and illogical. Still, they are not without reason. Those who prove themselves through good faith may earn the Iron Gears trust—and, in rare cases, cooperation.

​

The Iron Gears are all connected to each other through a Neural Link that improves itself the more Gears are connected, each unit contributing to the greater whole and central intelligence. They evolve by absorbing knowledge, refining their forms, and upgrading themselves across generations of circuitry.
