The Titans

The Dead Titans of Wormwood are massive constructs that are scattered throughout the world. Their corpses lie in the sides of mountains, beneath crushing sea depths or buried into the earth itself and have long since become reclaimed by new growths. The winding infrastructure of the Titan's skeletons are now home to kobold villages, goblinoid settlements, or lairs for more powerful beings. Much speculation surrounds the existence of the Titans, but many new world scholars believe that they were the Forebear's gods, or perhaps demigod rulers of their respective empires.

There are five known Titans on Wormwood as described below.

## Naussilon The Ghost Titan

Naussilon is a Titan that lays off the eastern coast of Nordfax within view of the port city of Rifton. From the city, Naussilon can be seen as a towering island with a vaguely mechanical shape, portholes and gears visible on the clearest of days. However, most of the time, Naussilon is obscured by a thick fog that generates with unnatural frequency around it and can even trick the eye to make it seem like the Titan isn't there at all. This apparent disappearing act has earned Naussilon the nickname of "The Ghost Titan."

### Appearence

Closer inspection of Naussilon reveals a humanoid form, bent in a crouched, kneeling posture. Though it is sat in deep waters, Naussilon's waist, torso, and upper arms are still well above the water even at high tide. Naussilon has four upper arms, two which steady it beneath the water, and two that end in long scythes and lay fold across its chest. Naussion's head is oblong and framed by triangular fins. It has three eyes and a smooth upper half of its head. The rest of Naussilon's body may have at one point been angular and sharp-edged, but the harsh salt winds have worn it down to an organic shape. Bare patches of coastal grasses and a few scraggly pine trees cling to Naussilon's back, and a cold-water coral reef blossoms around its arms and legs.

### Condition

Naussilon is one of the better preserved Titans on Wormwood and in fact seems to be largely intact, save for the centuries of disuse that has heavily weathered much of it's outer form. Due to the environmental dangers surrounding Naussilon, few expeditions or explorations have been sent inside of the Ghost Titan, and those that have either went missing or died within the bowels of the machine.

### Abilities

Naussilon has an acute and active effect on the weather in it's vicinity. Besides the frequent banks of fog that roll in around it, the Ghost Titan's presence also lowers the average temperature of the coast by several degrees, making winters unusually harsh and snowfalls frequent. Naussilon's body itself is covered in a layer of snow and ice for all but the warmest parts of the year. Since Naussilon has never been active in recorded history, it's true power is unknown, but legends and scholar's speculation believe it may have been able to summon mists to shroud entire continents and blanket empires in snow.

## Maegera The Dawn Titan

Maegera is a titan chained inside an active volcano of the same name on the Blackglass islands. The island is home to a large settlement of dwarves called the Wardens or the Iron Dwarves (use the racial stats of Mark of Warding dwarves). These dwarves are best known for their elaborate prisons and expert ironworks. Mt. Maegera and the titan within are used by the dwarves to fuel a massive furnace which allows them to forge tools and weapons of Aphotic Iron, a material that absorbs almost all the light the hits it and can also be used to absord and nullify magical effects.

### Appearence

The Dawn Titan's core burns with the force of three volcanoes and is so bright that any who look at it without protective gear will go blind. The titan is armored like a knight in organic iron the likes of which may never be reproduced by modern arcana. It's head bears massive curling horns with similar spiraling spikes protruding throughout it's form. Maegera is bound by gargantuan restraints of pure Aphotic Iron which tie it directly to the walls of its volcanic prison.

### Condition

Maegera is theoretically in working condition though it is dormant at the moments. As part of their sworn duty to contain the titan, the iron dwarves
