Anyway, from the horses mouth, so to speak Hundreds of years ago, the city states allied one other time- moving against what you might call a titan, a being of supreme power, and monstrosity. He ruled this planet, and those around it. We never had its true name, the legends just call it "The Overlord".
"The city states, at the height , with all its power, technology, and all the soldiers they could muster, marched against the overlord and his horde"
"The battle was fierce, fought almost non stop over a month, as our ancestors clashed with him, and his woe machines"
"In the end, the free peoples of Heras prevailed , the corpse of the overlord eventually going from a symbol of oppresion, to one of life, as nature began to overtake it.
The ground there is littered with wrecks, both of its machines, and the bones of our own walkers, and warriors. Some say there are ghosts there, and I for one believe them. Most who return, if they do come back at all, are changed in horrible ways by the experience of getting too close to it"
