Ancient Calamity Arumat

Lore

The rogue Deva librarian, Allanon, discovered an ancient document and deciphered it to be a record of an "ultimate weapon" created by an otherworldly race simply known as the Old Ones. The weapon was named "Arumat" (loosely translated by the Librarian), a weapon so terrifying even its own creators came to fear it. Arumat was the result of centuries' worth of research and experimentation. A massive titan with endless learning potential, it grew stronger with every world it subjugated. As it grew in power, so did its appetite for destruction. Turning its back on its creators, Arumat set off on its own path of endless carnage. The Old Ones knew that Arumat had to be put down. Left to its own devices, Arumat would continue to grow in power. It would only be a matter of time before Arumat turned its attention upon its creator. The battle to subdue Arumat came at a great cost; the Old Ones were nearly brought to ruin themselves in the attempt. Using the knowledge acquired from the remains of Arumat, a new "weapons system" was developed. Individually, these new models were much smaller, weaker and bore none of the aggression their predecessor did. But when they stood together, they would become something far greater than Arumat could ever hope to be.
