A Life Forge serves as a receptacle for storing life energy, which is then employed in the process of Creation. These instruments facilitate the task of crafting lifeforms for those lacking the accumulated expertise of centuries.
Life Forges are crafted from glassteel, a magically fabricated glass possessing the durability of high-quality iron. These structures typically measure 10 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height, though significantly larger examples exist. The forge situated within the Palace of Nine, for instance, spans an impressive 100 feet in diameter. These forges, like others adorning the halls of empires and the lairs of dragons, are non-functional, serving a decorative purpose.
Anyone who discovers a Life Forge today would be fortunate to retain it for more than a few weeks. Higher Powers view these devices of creation as relics that mortals should not possess. They also do not wish for them to fall into the wrong hands. In the past, some have obtained them and utilized them for personal motives. During the Dawn Era, Zhusalax unlawfully used a life forge to create the Shou race. Another illicit use occurred when Kurtulmak borrowed his master's life forge and employed it to generate a Kobold army with the sole intent of overthrowing her.
