Warforged

Warforged are constructions, human-sized puppets built at their core with Wizardwood and covered in a framework of steel and protected by armor. The use of wizardwood in their creation grants them a unique feature in that they can develop sentience over time, potentially becoming self-aware beings.

History

Ancient Warforged

Warforged are an incredibly rare creation, largely due to the fact that dragons, the source of the Wizardwood used in their construction, are rumored to be extinct. Additionally, the secrets of warforged construction have been lost over the ages, and only a few of these human-sized puppets have been discovered and awakened in ancient ruins.
It is said that the process of turning a simple puppet made of wizardwood into a self-aware being is a complex and gradual one that can take several generations to complete. This process requires not only the use of wizardwood, but also the blood of a living being, which serves as the catalyst for the transformation.
Without these key components, a warforged will remain a lifeless puppet and never attain sentience. However, once the process is completed, the warforged will regard the family, faction, or group that the blood used to belong to as its master, due to the strong connection established through the transformation process.

Recent attempts

Nowadays, Gnomes are fascinated by the warforged and strive to replicate their creation. They purchase Wizardwood from the Kingdom Reza Flames, home of the Dragonborn, in an attempt to imbue their constructions with sentience or even transfer their own consciousness into them. These modern creations are referred to as autognomes. Despite the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into their creation, which can take years, the end result is often unsuccessful and fails to attain true sentience.
