People have been creating constructs in their own image for centuries, just ask the Golem. It wasn’t until recently, with MoBu City bringing together human sorcery, elven spell-songs, dwarven craftsmanship, orc blood magic, roden bomb-making, wolf spirit magic and great spider weaving in the midst of one urban sprawl that the Wheel-forged could be born.
Someone stamped a five-spoked wheel on the first Wheel-forged and from that connection to the Burning Wheel’s eternal fire, it gained beliefs, instincts and life and transcended its inanimate components.
There are only four artisans who can create Wheel-forged, though it is said that Wyrd Weavers from the Spider stock and orcish Gate Forgers are close to putting their own spin on this newfound art.
