The Cast

Reconstructed Oath of Inheritance Paladin

RECONSTRUCTED: Warforged tendrils burrow deep into flesh and bone. Internal organs are replaced with chunks of engraved wood or stone, and blood blends with alchemical fluid. Whether they began as organic creatures or pure warforged, the Reconstructed are less alive than either, and are a truer construct. The process of reconstruction doesn’t destroy the subject’s identity, but it is an agonizing process that can cause memory loss and a flattening of emotion. Soldiers who have undergone reconstruction multiple times often find that they can no longer remember their earlier life—sometimes even forgetting whether they began as creatures of flesh or steel.

Constructed in Dread Metrol

DREAD METROL: Dread Metrol is a city enduring an endless siege. The undead legions of Karrnath have maintained their assault for years, and every night, new forces emerge from the Mists. Within the city, Queen Dannel ir’Wynarn tightens her grip, determined to find a way to turn the tide of battle. As resources dwindle, the war machine is consuming the people of Metrol. The bodies of the dead are fused to constructs to create tireless soldiers, while citizens who don’t contribute to the war effort are sent to the Vadalis Kennels and subjected to horrific experiments. As terrifying as the undead forces are, the queen’s relentless pursuit of victory is the source of the greatest horrors.

Dedicated to the cause of Queen Dannel ir’Wynarn

QUEEN DANNEL: Queen Dannel ir’Wynarn is known across the Five Nations, respected even by her enemies for her eloquence, intelligence, and grim determination. She has led her people through four decades of bitter, brutal war, overcoming betrayals and fighting enemies on all sides. But this long struggle has taken its toll. It’s well known that Dannel is a poet and skilled musician, but fewer realize that she’s also a brilliant artificer, and that she contributed to the design of some of House Cannith’s most unique creations, such as the warforged colossus. However, Dannel’s brilliance has an edge, and her creations often have a cost in innocent blood or life-energy. Over the last four years, she has suffered terrible injuries, and was nearly torn apart when a dracolich breached the Royal Vermishard.
