Warforged

Warforged

The Warforged were built to fight in Kadamitas. The first Warforged were mindless automatons, but on its last threads of life, Werstrado 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 were the front line of safety protecting the dying lights of the world. With them at the forefront of the defense effort, they are effectively the first race to ever go completely extinct.

The Warforged are a lithe and slender race, averaging 5 feet tall and weighing around 160 pounds. As an artificial species, they are made out of a variety of materials, including stone, metal, and darkwood, that have been infused with magic and bio-organic materials. Though their design can vary, they share common traits of a hinged jaw and eyes made from crystal. All Warforged have some built-in defenses, and many Warforged wear additional armor that has been integrated into their body.
The Warforged were created by Werstrado long ago as a sort of research project to test life creation with alchemy, and also as a failsafe in Congel were to ever turn against them. At the start of Kadamitas, they were dispatched to become the front line of defenses for all 5 Powers of Old. But due to their kind being used as machine before living being, the Warforged were quickly decimated and fell into obscurity as an extinct race that served its purpose protecting those they could. But who knows, maybe some still roam The Wilderlands.
