The Fall of Nabilhime

story

A tale about how pushing to hard to fast will destroy everything.
The leaders of Nabilhime blinded by greed of their own accomplishments ignored the warnings and paid the price

The city of Nabilhime is nothing but ruins today and here we will learn exactly what happened.

CH1 What was Nabilhime like?

Nabilhime was always considered a place of war, Originally build as a fortress to defended the border of Oxtrad it eventually came to be a city during peace time.
its location in the mountains was the perfect strategist placement providing optimal cover for defence and attack. the mountains were too steep and hazardous to scale so the only way through was on the ground.
Nabilhime build houses for citizens outside the fortresses walls as well as dug into the mountains for their grand forge areas.

The City was not only grand in stature, but also in design. The Master craftsmen were not Dwarves or Gnomes, their were instead Giants.
The mightiest of all mortal smiths you could hear the ring of the Giant's hammers all across the country when they worked.
The giants were worshiped by the citizens of Nabilhime. their likeness was carved into the city at every corner. statues in thier honour stood as tall as the giants themselves and the great gate to the fortress known as Immovable Dharma in The giant's tongue. the legends say that not even the gods could not break down the gate.
The Gate was guarded by Twin giant Warforged known as Gedon and Gora, one of the very first creations by the Giants of Nabilhime.

Nahilhime contributed 56% of Oxtrad's metal works and weapons during the years the forges were alight.
They Crafted some of the most powerful artifacts in the land as well as a whole new race of sentient beings known as warforged.

Chapter 2: Playing God

Warforged, an entirely new sentient species created by the hands of mortals. Humanoid creatures that could think and feel like humans although were driven more by logic rather then desire. strong and resilient they were soldiers that didn't need pricy armor, sustenance or sleep, healed as fast as their creators could repair them and had a strong loyalty to the creators and the city of Nabilhime.
This time ushered in a new age of power for Nabilhime and its leaders, with an army of almost indestructible soldiers Nabilhime started to become over confident, stepping over boundaries they wouldn't normally.

In secret the more humble giants took to crafting proper life rather then glorified soldiers, something that could think, desire and love, have a soul.
Special warforged crafted not of metal but magic.
Unicorn horn and Blood, powdered silver and Marble, mercury, Powdered mythrial and blood from a powerful Fey were the ingridients for these warforged. Powerful spells and alchemy were the tools and a Grand Gem was the catalyst, now all they needed was a soul, something they couldn't create.
3 of these warforged were crafted each with a different type of gemstone at its core, A Topaz, an Emerald and a Amethyst.

Rather then forged like traditional metal then assembled these variant warforged were made rom the above mixture in a liquid state the mixture was poured into a humanoid mold that contained a manufactured torso skeleton. then the large gem of choice was placed into the mixture socketing into the assembly and covered with more mixture.
The molds were then sealed air tight and placed into to forge to 'bake'
The life of this enchanted fire bound the mixture together completing the bodies for these variant warforged.
Once the baking was complete the molds were removed and left to cool where they now wait for a soul.
