Rise of the Warforged Titans

Technological achievement

House Cannith introduced the fully autonomous Warforged Titans to the battlefield, though these constructs were unstable they were capable of delivering massive damage, but were vulnerable to massed troop formations.

Although the warforged figured prominently only in the latter years of the war, Galifar’s King Jarot actually ordered the first mechanical soldiers from House Cannith before his death. These simple golems proved far too reliant on their controllers and thus nearly useless on the battlefield.   By 959, however, House Cannith had succeeded in improving its rudimentary prewar designs and introduced the first warforged titans. The house even managed to ramp up production quickly—twelve in the first year, twenty-three the year after, and forty-seven in 961. These were still early and unstable constructs, but both Breland and Cyre had the extraordinary sums necessary to purchase them, and the desire to work them into their military tactics. The titans’ clear advantage compared to the automatons and clockwork steeds was that they required no direct guidance to operate successfully on the battlefield. They were fully capable of independent operation.
