The Firstborn

The Firstborn is the term given by the dwarves to initial experiments with titanstone by the titans. Largely considered a failed experiment by the Eternal Enclave, many Firstborn were abandoned by their titan masters. Bitter about their neglect at the hands of their creators, many Firstborn view the Sentinels as "lesser" races. This coupled with the titan's seemingly favored attitudes towards the stonebloods has bred nothing but contempt between the two. A fact that has led to many wars between Firstborn and stonebloods.

Overview
Like all titan creations, the Firstborn are creatures made from titanstone; a magical stone crafted by the titans and is the foundation of all things crafted by the titans. Firstborn in particular were large and exaggerated and often made in the image of their creators. But they were flawed and lacked the spark of life that many later creations had.

The Firstborn were loyal to a fault, and lacked any real initiative. This was considered a defect by the Enclave, who required their creations to be able to oversee the guiding of the universe in their stead. They were later cast aside in favor of the Sentinels, which proved to be a large source of tension between the two groups.

While both titanborne and therefore intrinsically bound to the will of their creators, this did not stop the two from coming to blows. On many occasions wars between the Firstborn and the Sentinels erupted, threatening many worlds. Most of the time a titan was near enough to intercede in the conflict and quell the dissension. But this was not always the case, and more than one planet has been torn asunder by titanic civil war.
