Saladin Forge

Overview

Lord Saladin Forge is a human Titan Guardian and one of the last Iron Lords. He was found and raised by his Ghost, Isirah, in Old Russia during the Dark Age, when Warlords ruled most of humanity. He befriended Radegast, Jolder and Perun, Risen who refused to follow the Warlords, and the four formed the Iron Lords to end Warlord rule. The Iron Lords' campaign helped establish the Last City and the City Age.

The Iron Lords later discovered SIVA, a self-replicating nanotechnology from the Golden Age, which turned on them. Most of the Iron Lords died, and Saladin was one of only two survivors. He spent centuries guarding the Plaguelands. He founded the Iron Banner as a memorial to the fallen Iron Lords and a way to train new Guardians.
