Eslaiqi Forged
A People for the Future: The mechanized individuals who hold the title of warforged have been crafted for a number of decades now. Built originally to provide a helping hand to innovators of
Illhum, their souls being those pulled from the energy between the elemental planes or the souls of those yet to be born, they have always occupied a curiosity to those they live with. Many do not realize they are not cold calculating automatons but people in their own right, with the only difference being their metallic exteriors. They were designed to be the humanoids of the future, recording history, learning traditions, and finding new ways to unify the many cultures of
Eslaiqeza. Eslaiqi warforged commonly utilize the nations artistic traditions to decorate themselves, laminating themselves in patterns and shaping new and interesting new shells for them to occupy. Many still live within Illhum, where the academies first began to create these beings, but they have likewise spread across the nation and beyond its borders to find what else lies out in the world.
Gylidder Forged
The Forged: throughout
Gylidder history, the magic of the Inaethri has been described as working wonders. The heavens and the earth were at their command, and although they could bend reality to their whim, the one power that remained forever beyond them was the ability to create new life. They could sculpt it from other forms, often using the mutable, shapeshifting Aethrin race to forge their likeness (as
Calelis did with the wood elves,
Jomrune did with the mountain dwarves, and so on), but never truly creating life where there had been none - a power reserved only for the Incari of Myzelis itself. In the midst of the Age of Faith, through trial and error, the first Forged were crafted and granted sentience through magic. Although debate rages on whether they are yet another failure to innovate or a sign of true creation serving as the final masterpiece of the Inaethri, the secrets of crafting the Forged have been shared far and wide between conclaves and communities of Aethrin looking to follow in their gods' footsteps.
Though by no means is it written into their consciousness, the Inaethric secrets that craft the Forged are often similar enough by the creed of their patron deities to classify them in the following ways: to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Arcana, they are known as the Runeforged, to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Death, the Necroforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Grave, the Spiritforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Knowledge, the Tomeforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Life, the Lifeforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Light, the Sunforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Nature, the Earthforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Order, the Lawforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Peace, the Peaceforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Tempest, the Stormforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Trickery, the Shadowforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Twilight, the Duskforged; to the
Gylidder Inaethri of War, the Warforged; and to the
Gylidder Inaethri of Forge - and most of
Gylidd - simply the Forged. They are far too rare to form their own communities, but over time enough Forged of a similar make may congregate and create their own society.
