Autognomes

Autognomes are small, clockwork-like robots originally crafted by races such as Mind Flayers, Astral Elves, and Gith to serve various purposes, from labor to defense. These mechanical beings, often no taller than a typical gnome, are powered by intricate gears, magical mechanisms, and sometimes bound spirits. Though they were first created as tools for their creators, autognomes gradually became more widespread and independent, especially around the mid-3rd Era. As their designs improved, these machines began to adapt, acquiring sentience in some cases and becoming valued members of many societies. With their curious nature and clever capabilities, autognomes are now often found assisting in everything from research to adventuring, bringing a blend of craftsmanship and magic wherever they go. Notable Autognomes include Project Moonstone.
