Mechori City

### Introduction

Mechori City, a once-thriving metropolis of constructs, stands as a testament to both innovation and strife within the world of artificial beings. Founded in the year 875 of the Marik Era, this remarkable city was ruled by the formidable duo, Gladiator and Valianthar, who maintained order and protection over its diverse population of constructs. Yet, amidst their partnership and the safeguarding efforts of the elite Equinox Knights, a dark chapter in Mechori's history emerged, leading to the city's hidden existence.

### Foundation and Early Years

Mechori City emerged in the year 875, during the Marik Era, as a groundbreaking city dedicated to constructs and their advancement. Its founders envisioned a sanctuary where constructs of various kinds could live, coexist, and develop in harmony. Gladiator and Valianthar, two legendary Warforged, jointly undertook the responsibility of governing this novel city.

The city flourished as constructs of different designs and purposes congregated, fostering an environment of innovation and collaboration. Mechori City quickly became a hub of technological advancement and culture, drawing admiration from near and far.

### The Equinox Knights

At the heart of Mechori City's defense were the Equinox Knights, an elite military force comprised of the most powerful and skilled Warforged. These knights swore an oath to protect the city from external threats and uphold its values of unity and progress. Under the joint leadership of Gladiator and Valianthar, the Equinox Knights became legendary for their strength and honor.

### The Civil War of 463 Alikiv Era

However, the city's golden era was marred by a bitter internal conflict that erupted in the year 463 Alikiv Era, just a few hundred years after its founding. Valianthar, desiring more power, created a faction known as the Obsidian Eclipse, consisting of formidable constructs designed for combat. This schism divided the city, sparking a brutal civil war that raged for two agonizing years.

The conflict ended in a shocking turn of events when Gladiator, in an act of desperation, cast a powerful spell that deactivated himself and drained his arcane core of all its power. This sacrifice was made to banish Valianthar into the outer plane of Mechanus, where he would remain imprisoned for eternity.

### The Rise of Mechori Gear and the Hidden City

In the wake of the civil war's devastation, the Equinox Knights secured Gladiator's body and weapon in a secure location. Using the remaining magical energy, they crafted an artifact known as the "Mechori Gear." This enchanted mechanism granted the city the ability to float and become invisible to outsiders, effectively hiding Mechori from the world's prying eyes.

### The Disbandment of the Equinox Knights

With the absence of Gladiator and Valianthar, the Equinox Knights faced an uncertain future. They elected a new leader and quietly disbanded, leaving behind their previous mission for reasons known only to them. Mechori City gradually faded into myth, believed by most to be a lost tale of the past.

### Mechori's Secret Existence

Unbeknownst to the world, Mechori City still operates in utmost secrecy. Its advanced Warforged population has continued to evolve and innovate, patiently awaiting the return of their legendary leader, Gladiator. In the shadows, rogue constructs are hunted, ensuring the city's concealed existence and the safety of its residents.
