12 - Myr Incubator
On the peak of one of the numerous rust mountains of the Oxidda Chain, a horde of Goblins gathered the scrap materials of the broken artifacts that were their claim. Each disabled trinket was a victory to their clan, and the Goblins piled their spoils together in a belief that the larger the pile, the greater their clan's status, and they wanted to intimidate any other Goblin clans that share this belief. This clan was known as 'The Metal Benders' and each Goblin tried to prove their clan name as much as possible.
The Goblins danced around the heap in a ritual that not many would understand. They laughed and howled at their victories. Any artifact creature would be morbid at the display, if they had any feelings to express. Artifact creatures were the Goblins favorite constructs to smash and bend into disrepair. Any caught within the Goblins hold, would not function for long.
Yet there is one artifact that the Goblins of the Metal Bender Clan did not have knowledge about. It floated freely within the spaces of dimensions, and could easily turn their victories into utter failures. This artifact was not a creature, but a storage device of sorts, and once it received enough raw materials to resource, then it's power would be known. And unbeknownst to the Goblins, this particular artifact was drawn to the vast array of metal that the Goblins had so eagerly collected.
The Goblins continued to celebrate, not even taking notice that one or two pieces of their gathering had suddenly gone missing. Had they been attentive, they might have noticed more of the discarded relics dissolve completely into thin air. Goblins, however, are a stupid race and if they had noticed that their collection was suddenly getting smaller, they might have suspected it was caused by some paranormal phenomenon. Goblins have also been known to be superstitious. It wasn't until nearly the entire scrap heap of artifacts had vanished when the Goblins paused in their ritual, watching in disbelief as another artifact suddenly evaporated. One of the clan even screamed in horror and suggested that some spirit was stealing their treasure.
But it was no ghost or any other paranormal entity that had taken the artifacts. Once all the discarded artifacts had been absorbed, a strange translucent cube shaped materialized over the Goblin's heads. They watched in wonder, as the strange cube seemed to melt away from reality, leaving only its contents to indicate that it have ever existed. Where the pile of dysfunctional artifacts once stood, were now Myr's. One Myr for each artifact the Myr Incubator had collected. Had the Goblins the mental capacity to count, they would discover they were hopelessly outnumbered.
But these Goblins lived to smash metal; numbers did not matter to them. The Goblins ceased their celebrations and charged forward, intending to add the large group of Myr to their conquered prizes. The Myr, though created as blank slates, knew these Goblins are the cause for so many broken Myr's before them. Though emotionless, these Myr would fight back to avenge the constructs whose parts were used for their construction.
