Posterra Vol.3 - The Immortals

The Immortals were aptly named. Woven in the labs of one of the many lunatic wizards to be the ‘ultimate’ foot soldiers in the great Towers Wars, the Immortals were crafted with one feature in mind – utmost durability. But instead of some finicky techniques of developing indestructible armour or magical protections, this particular thaumaturgist had another, more scientific approach. What if he can imbue the very cells of his creation with unstoppable, imperishable capability to regrow and regenerate? Whoever the mad genius was, he succeeded – the Immortals far outlived their master, as their conflicts and world breaking battles are merely a footnote in memories of the most ancient tribes while the few soldiers of that bygone era cling to this day. You might ask, dear reader, why only few? Weren’t they supposed to be perfectly imperishable? Yes, but alas, even their capabilities had some limits – and never underestimate the power of time and malignancy of will found across the history to test the limits of anyone claiming immortality. Nonetheless, even to this day these shambling ruins of flesh and forbidden, bio-crafted ceramics can be found in dark, forlorn places, where they merely exist. Void of meaning, without orders, they stride with no purpose and filled with simplistic, violent tendencies programmed to their very core.
