In the heyday of the Dawn Legion, White Rock Sanctuary stood as the heart of their dominion, a symbol of strength and bastion against encroaching shadows. Victories of the Legion reverberated through the land, their influence extending like the dawn's first light. From White Rock's imposing halls, the Legion orchestrated campaigns that pushed back the tides of darkness, securing the southern realms from the malevolent forces that sought to plunge the world into perpetual night. Their triumphs were etched into the stones of the Ivory Citadel, and the very air within resonated with the echoes of their valor. Legends of the Dawn Legion's feats became tales told around campfires, instilling hope in the hearts of common folk and fear in the hearts of those who would threaten the sanctity of the land under their watchful gaze. White Rock Sanctuary stood not just as a fortress but as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Legion, whose influence reached far beyond its stony walls.
In a bold fusion of arcane mastery and martial prowess, the Dawn Legion, under Ezahr Onetorn's visionary leadership during the 4th century AL, embarked on a groundbreaking initiative to forge mechanical guardians. These sentient constructs, known as Irontide Paladins, were imbued with the divine essence of Ioldtor, the god of the present, and friend of mortals. Carved from enchanted metals and blessed with the divine spark, the Irontide Paladins stood as paragons of the Legion's commitment to safeguarding the realms. With gleaming armor that mirrored the brilliance of dawn itself, they marched alongside mortal warriors, their mechanical hearts pulsating with the sacred mission of defending White Rock Sanctuary and the lands beyond from the encroaching shadows. The creation of the Irontide Paladins marked a new era, where the marriage of magic and machine became a bulwark against the forces of darkness.
