	=== The Arms ===		=== The Arms ===
	<br />		Towards the end of the Udug War, the Lamassu instructed that a new type of weapon be made: a sort of nanotechnology that would embed itself in a user and enhance their body with new capabilities. These weapons were called Apocalypse Arms<ref>[[Goodbye (Note)]]</ref>, or simply Arms. Initially, these Arms were made from purely nanotechnology, which encompasses most Arms found ingame. However, this technology eventually proved inadequate, and methods were developed to turn a human being into an Arm.<ref>[[Cutscenes\|Cutscene]] 0036, AV2</ref> These people gave up their lives voluntarily<ref>[[Becoming an Arm (Note)]]</ref> in order to be assigned to a Wielder, someone who would use their latent power to fight. Over a hundred people gave their lives<ref>[[Heretic's Granddaughter (Note)]]</ref> and numerous Arms were constructed. With this power, the Udug were defeated and sent back to where they came, though there may have been something more sinister, what with how the Udug moreso disappeared than were defeated.<ref>[[Lament for Fools (Note)]]</ref> It isn't known how many of the Sagiga died during the war.

			=== Post-War ===
			After the war, the Sagiga were told to destroy what technology they had built during it<ref>[[Cutscenes\|Cutscene]] 0065, AV2</ref>, as the Lamassu reasoned the technology is too dangerous and must be prevented from contaminating other worlds<ref>[[Cutscenes\|Cutscene]] 0037, AV2</ref>. Most seemed to have followed this order, as structures such as [[Rebirth Chamber\|Rebirth Chambers]] are seen in ruin and almost none of the technology encountered ingame works. In addition to destroying technology, the Lamassu ordered that the Wielders must give themselves up and let themselves be destroyed with a storm bomb, as it is the only way to destroy an Arm completely. Most followed this order, but numerous Wielders refused to sacrifice their lives<ref>[[Cutscenes\|Cutscene]] 0044, AV2</ref>, and fled Kiengir through the Breach<ref>[[Beware the Patternmind (Note)]]</ref>. It's unknown how Kiengir ended up the way it did, or how many Sagiga left, but all either abandoned or died on their home world.

	Throughout Kiengir's history, the [[Udug]]- a group of various demon-like creatures- have been around.

Being of the Breach, the Udug coming into the worldstream created dangers for the Sagiga, though appeared somewhat ambivalent or unknowing to this.<ref>[[Storm Bomb (Note)]]</ref>		Throughout Kiengir's history, the [[Udug]]- a group of various demon-like creatures- have been around.
