The tale of Balathustrius, the Demented Tinker

The original Golems were created for sinister purposes by Exodus and his minions, some of the more intuitive Tinkers of Britannia were able to manipulate their programming and achieve control over the behemoths. The classic runic coding system used for the Golems was developed by a brilliant and methodical Tinker by the name of Balathustrius.

Having earned notoriety for this as well as his service to the Tinker's Guild of Britain, Balathustrius acquired enough gold to purchase the Tinker Shop just north of Britain Bank and began a lucrative business of repairing and selling golem supplies.

Wanting to meet the constant demand of the public as well as furthering his own obsession of understanding how these hybrid beings could function to their highest potential, Balathustrius descended further and further into his studies, intent on maximizing his profits and patents. Nystul, the Royal Wizard of Britain, held only a few more than he, but this new boon of technology would solidify Balathustrius' name in history... or so he believed.

Eventually his passion led to his undoing, when he accidentally came across the correct combination of magical reagents, power crystals, torque and luck to somehow fuse a clockwork assembly to a circuit board he had looted off the corpse of the "facsimile" Blackthorn when it was defeated by the hands of Dawn.

This changed everything anyone knew about Golems and he had to perfect it!

His sponsors were pleased by his prototypes, but he knew he could do better... he just needed the funds. And so, as more adventurers purchased and upgraded their Golems, Balthustrius the Demented Tinker grew ever more powerful.

Balathustrius has constructed a laboratory larger and more uninhibited by Britannia rules and regulations in the northwestern region of the Lost Lands of Trammel. Even though his plans have already been set in motion, is it possible to stop this ascension of technology into the mainstream or is it too late for the world?
