Autothecary

The Autothecaries infused small mechanical figurines with liquid will in the kingdom of Ka'Urn thousands of years ago. These figurines ranged from the tiny to the monstrously large and utilised for spying and heavy labour. The dragonborn artisans were revered for their work at the time.
Sometime during the Eritic dynasty around 1400 years ago Autothecaries fell out of favour with the emperor. Leading to the practice being outlawed in Ka'Urn. Some say that the emperor found their partner in an affair with a adult sized automaton facsimile of a Dragonborn. The Emperor's rage at their partner cheating on them with a construct bled into the artisan's work itself and the Emperor made sure that the humiliation could never happen again. Others say that a swarm of automata were sent to assassinate the Emperor in their sleep. The Emperor fended the attack off but realising the inherent danger of the automata they decreed the practice outlawed.
Many artisans acquiesced and ended the practice of producing and using liquid will. Instead producing lifeless intricate clock work mechanical figures, toys and contraptions.
However some believe that the knowledge of liquid will and the automata lives on to this day even after the devastation of Ka'Urn. Some of the artisans are said to have fled the kingdom living as hermits in the borderland mountain ranges and some yet moving further afield to create new dragonborn conclaves. If such groups do exist they have kept themselves apart from society and their secrets to themselves.
Some living automata survive today and are amongst the Warforged classification of species. Though they do form a specific and separate subset of Warforged.  Their design by itself is enough to identify them, often constructed of coloured metals with some of the more elaborate constructions incorporating detailed filigree and etching within the plating, cogs and actuators.   The liquid will glows a characteristic silver and pink hue in its reservoir, usually exposed (rather sentimentally) near the centre of their chest plates.
