"Warforged are formed from a blend of organic and inorganic materials. Root-like cords infused with alchemical fluids serve as their muscles, wrapped around a framework of steel, darkwood, or stone. Armored plates form a protective outer shell and reinforce joints. Warforged share a common facial design, with a hinged jaw and crystal eyes embedded beneath a reinforced brow ridge. Beyond these common elements of warforged design, the precise materials and build of a warforged vary based on the purpose for which it was designed." - DNDBeyond
The Origins of Warforged in Kauvet
"Over 1000 years ago, long before many of our times, there was a dwarven priest of
Moradin, whose name has been lost to history. This Priest served at a remote church in an unknown mountain range, serving as a lone beacon of light and safety to passing travelers.
One day an injured traveler collapsed on the church steps. The Priest rushed them in from the cold and used their divine blessings to heal the traveler before placing them in a bed to rest. It was then that a crowd of angered hunters who were allegedly after a wounded gold dragon arrived.
Realising that the injured traveler was likely a dragon who’d taken human form, the Priest attempted to hold the hunters off but was no match and was pushed out of the way. In a panicked moment, the Priest beseeched Moradin for aid. In a moment of divine intervention, the entire church, the traveler, and the Priest vanished, leaving the hunters confused as they stood where there was once a building.
It’s unknown where that church ended up, but it’s said that the traveler recovered and revealed their true form to the Priest, and over time the pair grew to care for each other, even love one another, and this love was cemented with the creation of the first warforged, my eldest sibling Loom." -

Note: While this is the main creation lore of warforged, it is still possible that different Warforged have been created since the birth of the Moradin Warforged.
