Warforged

A Warforged is a type of clockwork automaton, created as servants and soldiers for New Crobuzon's population. They receive instructions through punch cards and are capable of a variety of jobs, from intense mathematical calculations to manual labor.
Through unpredictable errors accumulating in the Warforged' programming, a rare few gained sentience. When Parliament finally discovered the existence, the decommissioning was initiated, wiping out the Warforged population in a matter of weeks, apart from a very small number of servants for well-connected people and an unknown number of soldier-Warforged stored by Parliament.
As a result of the decommissioning, all remaining Warforged in New Crobuzon are strictly licensed and controlled. Golems have succeeded constructs as household laborers.

Description

The warforged are made of stone, metal and wood fibres. The core of a warforged is a skeletal frame made of metal and stone with wood fibres acting as a muscular system. Covering the warforged is an outer shell of metal and stone plates. An internal network of tubes run through the warforged's body, these tubes are filled with an alchemical blood-like fluid that is designed to lubricate and nourish their systems. Their hands have only two thick fingers and a thumb whilst their feet only have two broad toes.
