[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5601685, member: 15538"] An empire found itself facing a foe with no reservations about undead warriors. This empire, however, considered it anathema. However, they found a solution. While they would not use undead spirits, or trap living souls, they found a way to store life force energy. Using powerful accumulators to store and concentrate life force, they were able to use spells to give that life force a form of intelligence. Inadvertently, their creators discovered that such beings, despite being artificial, also had an immortal nature, leading to a new vein of research into the essence contained in matter. While the new warforged army were not as effective, particularly cost effective, as they hoped, their immunity to undead contagion allowed them to hold the enemy at bay long off to secure a ceasefire. It did not take the necromancers long to exhaust their resources and develop leadership problems; when war resumed, their weakened forces were easily repelled. After the way, Pa-Ka, the Inevitible in charge of those who created life without the benefit of divine wisdom, challenged the wizards who created the warforged. In response, they imprisoned him, and used his mechanoid body as a template for enhancing their creations. However, his arrival convinced them to be wary, and the warforges were gradually cooled down and turned into research facilities, lest they draw unwanted divine, diabolic, or cosmic attention.
