The GEAR KNIGHTS are a mechanized race of unknown origins. While they are technically machines, they evidence all the personality of the other races of Dereth. Aetherium is the sustenance of Gear Knights and essential to create or activate Gear Knights , with the Aetherium Power Core being described as the "heart of a Gear Knight. Though they seem to be animated in a similar manner to Golems, they instead rely on a maze of small interconnected parts and gears, which allows them a far greater level of stability, and far less dependence on any sort of animating magics.
