Lore

The Seneschal being directed

The Seneschal was created by Zoltun Kulle. It is a mighty weapon, capable of harnessing ancient power for the one strong enough to control it. A one-of-a-kind construct, it was built to command the other constructs, and protect the one commanding it in turn.

The Seneschal was buried in a vault deep below the sands of Kehjistan. The vault it was buried in was equipped with a number of traps, and a number of adventurers lost their lives in pursuit of the device. They emerged from the vault, but the Seneschal was left behind, broken. It was later retrieved by the Wanderer and repaired by Ayuzhan, so it would follow the Wanderer's orders.
