The battle of Nurn Forest consisted of many different Zamonian Life Forms. The reason for it has been forgotten in time. They were the best equipped for their time. However, neither side won and both had major casualties. By coincidence, Grailsundian master surgeons, itinerant watchmakers, armorers, locksmiths and alchemists all gathered at the aftermath of the battle. By combining their skills, they managed to make the Copper Killers out of the remaining weapons and armor. They then created their leader, General Ticktock out of all that remained.
