| − | '''Appearance''': The Lord of Blades is a unique appearing Warforged in that he appears more like a ceremonial suit of armor rather than a war machine. His natural imposing presence as a Warforged Juggernaut is enhanced by the fact that he appears almost beautiful by comparison to them. The Lord of Blades also is far more naturally silent to him and doesn't make the usual clanking or clanging motions that most of them. His footsteps are still terribly intimidating sounding. As a way to make himself more commanding, The Lord of Blades has also permanently cast a [i]Echo[/i] cantrip on himself to sound more intimidating.

| − | '''Personality''': The Lord of Blades is an intellectual racist who styles himself a transhumanist. He believes that evolution has left humanity behind and that constructs are the next phase of living organism in the world. Like many cultured bigots, The Lord of Blades doesn't really blame meat beings for being inferior but little convinces him of their natural right to exist when the next generation would so clearly be better off being warforged. It's the equivalent of obsolence for all intents and purposes.

| − | However, the Lord of Blades is not solely defined by his famous distaste for fleshbags. He is a figure that fancies art, arcane theory, poetry, science, music, and architecture as his hobbies. A Renassiance Warforged, the Lord of Blades seems to master any subject that he comes across in fairly short order. His distaste for human beings doesn't preclude him appreciating their creations, after all they made warforged, and he often speculates that they used to be a much more wortwhile race before de-evolving. That has lead the Lord of Blades to fund several expeditions into Xen'drick to investigate the Giant Culture.

| − | The Lord of Blades is a fairly honorable sort and believes that it is important to keep his word, within reason. He is especially kind towards his fellow warforged and while they are sheep to him, he cares for their needs and encourages them to self-actualize while he makes preparations for the Next War that will surely be constructs vs. humans. Out of a sense of duty to those few mad fanatics that serve him, the Lord of Blades is considering just exiling humankind from this world or figuring some way of transferring their souls to warforged bodies.

| − | '''History'''- The Lord of Blades true history is that he was created directly by the brilliant mad scientist Aaren D'Cannith out of his desire to make a living being that never died. The customized Warforged was one that well surpassed the original designs of which House Cannith worked with. The warforged was designed in order to lead the rest of his race from bondage and help them realize their true potential as living beings. Because Aaren D'Cannith is such a revered figure, the Lord of Blades keeps hidden that his first act upon completing his education was to strangle his creator.

| − | The Lord of Blades promptly set about gathering the largely confused and troubled warforged of Cyre post the Mourning. The Lord of Blades, named Adas by his Creator, is unique amongst the beings of Khovaire in that he knows ''exactly'' what caused the Mourning. The Warforged has kept this a secret thus far but often has been known to threaten other nations with repeating it and dangling the power to destroy nations over their head. Only a few warforged in his inner circle have any hint as to what caused it despite his amusement at it.

| − | The Lord of Blades promptly set himself up in Eston. The monstrous warforged killed or enslaved the pitiful survivors living there and has since spent the past three and a half years rebuilding the location into a Warforged paradise. There are estimated to be about 1,000 members of the '''Iron Nation''' in ''Bladevania'' but there's actually more like 10,000 with half the population being human survivors of Cyre and an additional 4,000 Non-Warforged Constructs of various types making their existence there as the Lord of Blades experiments with his various Creation devices. The Lord of Blades has an additional 2,000 or so followers spread out through the whole of Khovaire and many Warforged sympathize with him even if they are not direct members of the Iron Nation.

| − | The Iron Nation is, primarily, interested in recruiting new Warforged for the cause. It often aids in terrorist acts against human beings and murdering members of hate groups in order to set themselves up as the champions of the common being. The Iron Nation also spends much of its time gathering information, collecting magical items, and setting up alliances in preparations for the Next War. Oddly, the Next War isn't expected for probably a century or more. The Lord of Blades is not a fool and intends to exploit the immortality of his status as a construct to its fullest extent. He is not adverse to 'quick fix' plans to increase his power though. This is a weakness of his.

| − | The Lord of Blades has, to the followers in Bladevania, claimed to be a divinely inspired being. This, the Lord of Blades thinks, is complete shavit. The Lord of Blades is an atheist and only believes gods to be a different order of being than humans or nonexistent. He believes the spells of clerics are solely the product of drawing from magic through mental energies just like psionics or sorcery. His religion instead draws its power solely from co-opted Onatar, Traveler, and Dol Dorn principles that he's co-opted into a singular faith that reveres himself as a living god on Eberron. He takes the fact that his followers possess spells to be all the proof necessary that gods are fake.
