"For many years, construct soldiers served as an effective vanguard for living troops in wartime altercations. They were considered more durable and lethal than mortal soldiers, though even they were not immune to destruction and what was colloquially referred to 'true death', though it was unclear how many of them were truly 'alive'. Often both feared and worshipped in equal measure, many distinct construct designs have shown up in iconography, poetry and paintings from the era of warfare, and are almost indistinguishable from those that depict ordinary knights and soldiers. It is because of their common use as vanguards in military campaigns that there is often frustratingly little to study of physical remains; as each kingdom that used them had its own process for making them, they often destroyed them rather than let their secrets fall into enemy hands. Many of these constructs were made and destroyed on such battlefields. Those that survived were often hidden away, preserved as valuable treasures in the deep vaults of nobility or royal families, an investment that had paid off handsomely. In the post-war era, they were of course rendered obsolete and no longer serve any use except as study objects and curiosities. Those scholars lucky enough to obtain the intact remains of construct soldiers guard them jealously."
Ghislain sure has some shit going on huh. Can't wait to dig into it.
