Just wondering how constructs get designed and built.

Nobody seems to be able to fill that question IG.

They get designed by administrators rarely.

They get built by Power Ministers.

I think he means on an IC level.

My answer kind of implies that there really isn't an IC design / building at all-- it's just ordered by the Power Minister, and then items magically fly around until it's built.

But somebody/something must have designed it/ builds them.

Be they gnomes or fae, or gods, or half formed or whatever.

Magic builds them-- take a look at it in its building form. "Hunks of marble and wood fly around, slowly fitting themselves into place." As to the design, well, they're not Gnomish, they're not half-formed in design (Communes have them), they're not really Divine-built (there was no roleplay around the Darknest release, and the NightAltar release was a bit of a quest to find Night's aetherbubble, which resulted in the construct being able to be built). I guess you could say that Night designed that one, but as to the Crownest? There's not even a hint.

I guess, ICly, the power ministers 'design' and build them. They just happen to design them however the Fates want them to be designed (read: coded). tongue.gif

What does that have to do with Q?
