During the Feeding of Kezgihr (1552 HE - 1798 HE), hundreds of Gimrune fled to the security of the Primus Hexaconta. It was the last place anyone wanted to go, the heart of a dead god, its shifting halls patrolled by ancient constructs. Once inside, they were to learn that salvation, and the destruction of their foes, would come through engineering and contraption.
Inside the Primus Hexaconta, they found secret chambers with blueprints and instructions for making constructs, mechanical contraptions, and replacing organic parts with mechanical ones - grafts. Becoming one of the machined, half-clockworks, they are called the Shi'gah; an Abyssal word for "forlorn". Credited with ending the Feeding of Kezgihr, Saviors of Honmin, they have never gotten along with true Gimrune. Each look down upon the other, the Gimrune see the Shi'gah as abominations, often cold and calculating like a machine, while the Shi'gah see their brothers as a ill-conceived, weaker form.
All Shi'gah have at least one graft. In the Dema'tira Confederation, grafts can be acquired as gifts, awards, or through trade; and in Dema'tira society, the more grafts, the higher one's status.
