History

Warforged are said to be the creation of a dwarven runesmith named Thodohr Silverbreath, who wished to wage a war without sacrificing the lives of his dwarven kin. Thus with his mastery of engineering, he would create soldiers to fight on thier behalf.The first few were failures and usually ended up exploding or breaking down. But after the first few failures, he finally succeeded, and was able to create the first warforged. He then waged the Metal Wars against a large war tribe of orcs, almost completely wiping them out, though Thodohr would regret this as the warforged at first had no mercy and slaughtered anyone who got in their way. As such he dismantled many of his creations, but not before his plans were accidentally leaked to a few engineers. They would go one to make their own warforged in small numbers, and a curious case that has befallen the warforged is that many now have gained sentience, and personality. Now they wander the world almost like metal children, having to discover what life means to a being of metal and gears

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Warforged are met with either curiosity/disdain, or accusations of heresy depending on where they are. Most people may not care about warforged, but some of the more religious societies and people or other such groups may accuse them of being soulless abominations and only worthy of destruction. Dwarves however love the warforged and treat them like kin
