THE L O R D OF L A D E S
The Lord of Blades is a warforged warlord who has bro­
ken all ties with his former masters. He has established
a nation for his people deep in the Mournland, centered
in a great fortress where warforged from all over Khor­
vaire can come and feel a sense of belonging. No one
knows what the Lord of Blades plans for his followers,
but many fear that he intends to build a legion of war­
forged zealots, primed to march from the Mournland to
unleash destruction on their former masters.
Some tales assert that the Lord of Blades led the
warforged armies of Cyre in the Last War. Others cast
him as a newer warforged, perhaps the last to come out
of the Cannith creation forges before the Thronehold
Accords led to their dismantling. One story claims the
Lord of Blades caused the destruction of Cyre and
warns that he plans to repeat the Day of Mourning in
each of the remaining Five Nations. Whatever the truth,
he has become a beacon for warforged everywhere.
