Fall of Overdale

Disaster / Destruction

The destruction of the largest city in the world sent shock waves through Stelair, but especially the @Gnomelands.

The fall of Overdale was seen as the fault of hubris, specifically of the @Tinker's Circle. The city was a modern marvel. Using the power of the Genie Engine the city was able to be propelled into the sky and float above the landscape. With the @Tinker's Circle being the foremost experts in clockwork constructs, the majority of its labor force and city maintenance was taking care of by the automatons. Allowing the rest of the population to flourish by perfecting skilled craftsmanship and researching new fields of magic.   However this peace was not to last, as one fateful day the clockwork creations began a sudden and terrifying revolt. Machines broke from their jobs and began slaughtering citizens. The deep maintenance hallways of the city began flowing with blood as maintenance drones turned their tools against their masters. And the clockwork guard tore through the meager amount of gnome soldiers. After hours of chaos and destruction as the living population began to dwindle, the entire city was rocked by a massive explosion and began its deadly descent to the ground below.   The city landed within the Bloda Peaks, now known as the @Bloody Peaks. When adventurers and Gnomeland rescue crews arrived at the cities wreckage, to look for survivors, they were met with a terrifying force of clockwork constructs. Still operating and still out for blood. After the destruction of Overdale a months long war broke out between the automatons and the @Gnomelands. It was brief, bloody, and horrible war as the constructs, lead by 5 mechanical overlords. However for whatever reason, after 73 days of marching and slaughter, the constructs turned back and re-entered the mountains. And there they stayed, tearing apart anything that enters the mountains but never leaving the range themselves.
