{{Quote|The Hive here, they claim to come from Shin'ra's Throne World. Some place called the High Forge.|Takedown in the Abhorrent Depths dialogue.}}

The '''High Forge''', also known as the '''Court of Shin'ra''', '''Court of Sorrow''' and the '''Court of the Maker''', is the [[Forum:Fanfic Throne Worlds|Throne World]] of [[Forum:Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker|Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker]]. A Throne World that invokes the idea of Shin'ra's [[Final Shape]], known to him as Perfection Eternal, which serves as a realm that holds near perfect copies of the worlds that the [[Hive]] had previously encountered, conquered or destroyed. 

==Description==
The appearance of the High Forge is unlike other Throne Worlds encountered, placing it on various planets that exist in Shin'ra's pocket of the Ascendant Plane. These planets include [[Fundament]], home world of the [[Hive]], Riis, the [[Fallen|Eliksni]] home world and even [[Torobatl]], the Cabal home world. They appear in a perpetual state in their Golden Ages, Fundament before the Hive arose, Riis when the Traveler blessed the Eliksni and Torobatl during its thousand year reign of [[Emperor Calus]]. 

While the Fallen and Cabal see it as a disgrace and sacrilege of their home worlds, Shin'ra however made them in their Golden Ages to be the exact opposite. He believed that he wanted to rebuild the worlds and hold them in their Golden Ages after the [[The Witness|Witness]] concluded its own iteration of the [[Final Shape]], and then rebuild the species that once ruled over the worlds from scratch.

The High Forge's version of the Fundament seems to be the most of all changed. Where the Osmium Court once rested now resides a massive black fortress with spikes that protrude outward and upward. A massive replication of the [[Forum:The Jade Citadel|Jade Citadel]] protrudes from the center of the black fortress, often described as a lighthouse as it flickers a sickly green hue that can be seen from the planet's orbit. 

The High War is continuously patrolled by the realm's version of the Maker's [[Tomb Carrier]], the [[Forum:The Nephilim|Nephilim]], almost acting as a "shark, hunting in shallow waters" for unwanted visitors of the domain. Its actions and motives seem to make it more alive than a simple armament for Shin'ra to control, even possessing the ability to manifest a loud and almost metallic roar when hunting prey.

*Perfected Fundament
**Perfected Osmium Court
***Synagogue of the Weavers
****Temple of Unmaking
***Court of Worms
****Chantry of the All-Maker
****Osmium King's Crypt

==Trivia==
*It is believed that the reason Shin'ra named his Throne World the High Forge was to openly mock [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], who named hers the [[Court of Savathûn|High Coven]] to openly mock [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]]'s [[Court of Oryx|High War]].
