Defenders of Henkrforge. Warforged went extinct during the apocalypse, being destroyed during the Demonic insurgence, and that would have been the end if not for scholars from Henkrforge finding the mechanical corpses from the demonic war and trying to reverse engineer the technology. Eight years after finding the bodies, the first new Warforged in over 300 years was built, powered by a very special magical gem that had been made using Red Dragon's Blood, fire rubies, binding agents, and at least one magic ring. This Warforged named "Tamari" Was a sorcerer from his very first activation, and was trained as a fighter as well. Now a few hundred Warforged exist, and most of them still live in Henkrforge where they act as guardians of the city.   Age. A typical Warforged is between two and thirty years old. The maximum lifespan of the Warforged remains a mystery; so far, Warforged have shown no signs of deterioration due to age.   Alignment. Most Warforged take comfort in order and discipline, tending toward law and neutrality. But some have absorbed the morality — or lack thereof — of the beings with which they served.   Warforged Resilience.
