Warforged

Warforged are a relatively new race of humanoid constructs being created by Houses of Toma and Hadid during Hadad's Concuest in 388 PC for the purposes of warfare. Extremely powerful and durable, warforged were able fighters. Unlike most constructs, warforged were fully self-aware and maintained mental faculties on par with elves, humans, or similar races.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Warforged often take up the nicknames given to them by their friends, colleagues and superiors though they also name themselves after their rank, job title or something that describes an aspect of themselves. It is not rare for a warforged to change his name when they feel their old one no longer suits them. Others could take names from other races, such as humans.

Example Names:


Azm, Book, Bulwark, Cart, Charger, Cutter, Deadbolt, Falchion, Graven, Hammer, Mark, Morg, Nameless, Pierce, Pious, Relic, Rune, Steeple, Sword, Three, Titan, Unsung, Victor, Watcher, Zealot

Gender Ideals

The warforged have a sexless form and are considered to be mono-gender. The warforged are able to be repaired and modified by artificers or even themselves giving them an endless possibility to their appearances.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Despite the warforged's peaceful nature, most citizens of Ashad see them as reminders of a dark past. Some still see them as implements of destruction, killing machines and equipment made in the form of a man, and see them as a danger that must either be destroyed or removed from society. Of all the regions of Ashad it is the south that has the least liberal social attitude towards warforged. Most southerners see them only as machines rather than individuals, this is perhaps due to their relation with undead soldiers. Warforged prejudice isn't exclusive to the south and there are those who make the common Domilian citizen seem fair in their views. Some citizens hold outright racist views towards the warforged, an example of such an individual would be Rhaian Delvor, a minor lord, with lands north of the capitol. Rhaian endorses anti-warforged organizations and advocates the banishment or the murder and melting down of warforged.
