Warforged

The warforged were built to fight wars. The first warforged were mindless automatons, but some devoted vast resources to improving these steel soldiers. An unexpected breakthrough produced fully sentient soldiers, blending organic and inorganic materials. Warforged are made from wood and metal, but they can feel pain and emotion. Built as weapons, they must now find a purpose beyond the war. A warforged can be a steadfast ally, a cold-hearted killing machine, or a visionary in search of purpose and meaning.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The warforged are made of stone, metal, and wood fibers. The core of a warforged is a skeletal frame made of metal and stone with wood fibers acting as a muscular system. Covering the warforged is an outer shell of metal and stone plates. An internal network of tubes run through the warforged's body, these tubes are filled with a blood-like fluid that is designed to lubricate and nourish their systems. Their hands have only two thick fingers and a thumb whilst their feet only have two broad toes.
The warforged's face loosely resembles their human creators thought they have a toothless jaw, heavy brow line, and are lacking noses and hair. Each warforged has a ghulra engraved upon their foreheads. Each of these runes are unique to the warforged giving them a sense of individuality.
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.

Ecology and Habitats

Warforged are found mostly within large cities in the Osarian Empire.

Civilization and Culture

History

Warforges are a new idea. Living, moving statues is not something commonly seen throughout Nesia. It was a pass Osarian Emperor that invented the living machines during the Osarian-Warsu War. Many believe that after the war, Divdia blessed a few with a soul and life, allowing them to finally be free. Now it is common practice within the Osarian Empire to approach a follower of Divdia to bless their warforge creation.
