ABOUT

The siege engine construct is a monumental construct born from the ingenuity and sorcery of master artificers. It stands as an imposing marvel of mechanical warfare. Crafted to resemble a formidable war machine, these colossal constructs are often commissioned for battlefields where their immense strength and destructive power are required.

Found predominantly in regions ravaged by conflict or within the armories of powerful warlords, the siege engine constructs are expertly designed to lay waste to fortifications and breach impregnable walls.

Towering over the battlefield, these mechanical monstrosities exhibit an awe-inspiring presence, their hulking frames constructed from reinforced steel and reinforced with enchanted plating.

At a height of several stories and weighing several tons, siege engine constructs possess an array of devastating weaponry mounted upon their sturdy frames. Mighty battering rams and trebuchets capable of hurling massive projectiles are among the arsenal of destruction built into their massive frames work without the assistance of living operators.
