Pendulum

Mecha-Barbarian
While many of the Dwarven Kings have spent their lives warring with the surrounding kingdoms, Royan-Mor was more honest and caring of his kingdom. For this reason he focused more on the development of Horran-Mor than war.

From the depths of the engineering labs of Horran-Mor, where the dwarves had tinkered for centuries, came some of the most amazing creations of Edenea, as well as some of the most morbid. Royan-Mor pushed for newer technologies to be created which would aid the expansion of Horran-Mor and due to the strain he placed on the creative minds of Horran-Mor, some abominations had been created.

While Pendulum is almost exactly what Royan-Mor had in mind when he pushed the engineers  for new creations and mecha-slaves, Pendulum had turned out to be more than a handful for Royan-Mor. The problems with Pendulum didn’t immediately come to light, and it wasn’t until other prototype mechanoids had been completed, and testing on Pendulum was underway, that the troubles began to surface. Pendulum was aggressive and unpredictable. While the scientists had designed Pendulum to be the prototype for a breed of Mechanoids known as the ‘Mecha-Barbarians’ to be used as warriors to defend Horran-Mor in case of an attack or invasion, Pendulum proved to be too unpredictable to use in combat. The Dwarven-engineers continued work in the Engineering labs for years thereafter, with the Pendulum project being moth-balled.

As the years passed, Pendulum grew lonelier and increasingly aggressive towards his captors. He sought to escape and live outside of Horran-Mor, if he wasn’t to be useful to the dwarves. One day, Pendulum had had enough. He broke free from his storage unit and started a rage-fueled rampage through Horran-Mor’s engineering block (a substantial portion of the city).

Horran-Mor went on high alert as Pendulum rampaged through the halls and tunnels in anger, seeking to destroy anything that stood in his path. It wasn’t long before the other mechanoids of Horran-Mor became equally destructive and joined Pendulum on his rampage. When Pendulum and the Mechanoids couldn’t be captured, Royan-Mor made an executive decision. Royan-Mor tricked the mechanoids into returning to the engineering block, and as the mechanoids stormed through the halls in billowing clouds of smoke and steam, Royan-mor slipped into a side passage.

As the newly formed mechanoid army entered the engineering block, Royan-Mor shut the door behind them and sealed it shut, imprisoning Pendulum and the mechanoids forever.

Over time, Royan-Mor and pendulum reconciled their differences and have learned to see eye to eye and respect each other as leaders of adjoined kingdoms should.
