Gearkeeper

Gearkeepers are the large, automaton guards of many towns and cities within Alturis. Based on the look and design of the Warlington elected representative and the original Proto model warforged.   These creatures, however, have no sentience and are instead controlled by runic engravings all over them with a series of intricate cogs and wirings to ensure their forms move and function.   Gearkeepers come in three categories:
  • Gearkeeper: The standard guard level automaton, they move in pairs and are generally controlled to fulfil their roles in towns as a reliable guard... however, they evidently lack the insight and investigative instincts of conscious mortals. They are large creatures armed with a whirring sawblade and Thundergun that prove to be able to take a beating and put down your average criminal with ease. They always come with a 'nest' of gear crawlers inside them that they excrete from their mouths for combat to aid them.
  • Gear Crawlers: The spiders that form nests inside the torsos of Gearkeepers. They have the dual function of acting as easy to repair and build cannon fodder creatures that are skilled for distracting enemies and ensuring the Gearkeeper is not swarmed. They explode when killed. They also strip themselves of materials and gear to repair their 'father' gearkeeper.
  • Gearkeeper Juggernaut: There are 2 Gearkeeper Juggernauts in Alturis, due to the amount of gold and time it costs to build one and, secondly, due to how much damage they cause when used. Juggernauts reach 40ft tall and are monstrosities of technology and death. Typically, they are used to fight the Aist states in open combat. Though notably one of the Juggernauts were sent north to track the Spectres library and hasn't since returned. The other juggernaut is currently claimed by the Inquisitors Order and are being worked on to hold anti-magic capabilities to deal with Aist mages and take the fight to the Aist states.
