Meet the Marionex, emerging from the shadowy depths of Mordrathen with a curious blend of artifice and sentience. Crafted by the enigmatic puppetmaster Father Time, these living marionettes possess awakened minds fueled by a relentless curiosity about the world around them. While their jerky movements may unsettle some, Marionex embrace their unique existence, forming deep bonds with each other and their absent creator.

Through their craftsmanship and artistic endeavors, Marionex honor their creator's legacy, dreaming of unlocking the mysteries of life itself through their mastery of form.
