Seraphon – Realmshaper Engine

Ancient terraforming machines of tremendous potency, the Realmshaper Engines are used by the Seraphon to change the environment to better suit their needs, transforming arid deserts or tundra wasteland into dense, sweltering jungles teeming with life. Teleported to the field by the portal-generators of temple-ships or dropped from the heavens on trails of fire, these massive ziggurats slam to earth with tremendous force and embed themselves in the realmcrust. They stir into action almost immediately, feeding off nearby ley lines and discharging thrumming arcs of primal power that violently alter the surrounding lands. Realmshaper Engines deployed by the Starborne hosts are charged with celestial energies absorbed from the heavens and have a particularly dramatic effect on their surroundings. When charged by a potent wielder of Azyrite magic such as a slann or skink priest, they shatter the earth and split the skies through the raw power of creation. The Realmshapers of the Coalesced Seraphon have often remained in place for many years; they are more symbolic shrines to the supremacy of the Old Ones than active tools of terraforming. Marking the outer limits of a temple-city’s domain, they still radiate primordial power that increases the ferocity of the local fauna and the bloodthirsty aggression of any Seraphon nearby.
