Ri-Ma was not merely a machine but a guardian, crafted with a blend of ancient technology and modern innovation. It was originally designed by the enigmatic Technomancers of the Obsidian Citadel, a group known for their mastery of combining magic and machinery. The Ri-Ma was created to serve as a sentinel, protecting the borders of the citadel and ensuring the safety of its inhabitants from external threats.
Over the centuries, the Ri-Ma became more than just a guardian of the citadel. Stories abound of Ri-Ma units that ventured beyond their original purpose, embarking on quests that would take them across the vast landscapes of Fable X. Some Ri-Ma became legendary figures in their own right, forging alliances with various factions, aiding in battles, and even becoming revered protectors of entire communities.
One such tale speaks of Ri-Ma Arkon, who, after the fall of the Obsidian Citadel, wandered into the Forgotten Forest. There, Arkon formed a bond with the forest spirits and protected the ancient groves from those who sought to exploit its resources. The Ri-Ma's ability to communicate with both technology and nature made it a unique bridge between the old world and the new.
