Gem Knight
Built by the Enigeers as soldiers for the Magi-Tech War, these constructs are rare to find with their crystal cores still functioning. Usually they're scrapped for their metal when found. The means to build and power them was lost in the war. If there is anyone that knows how to create them they keep the knowledge closely guarded. The few Gem Knights that remain do all that they can to preserve themselves and find a purpose in this new world.
Largely believed to be non-existent in the known world and requires permission to play.
