Warforged

The sentient mechanical constructs known as warforged arguably represent the greatest achievement of the Great War —the first sentient race created through magical crafting. They were invented before the conflict, but a breakthrough during the war gave them true intel- ligence. They were created to be perfect soldiers, with size, strength, and a single-minded focus on battle. Unlike mindless constructs, warforged can think tactically and fight intelligently. Although this mindset served them well in battle, they find it hard to adapt to a world without war. Some attempt to join society, others wander, and many seek battle as mercenaries, thugs, or adventurers.

Personality

Since they were built for battle, the warforged were encouraged to develop their emotions. They have the capacity for all human emotions, but many are still learning to express these feelings. Others often see them as rude or cold. For most warforged, freedom meant losing their sense of purpose. They were built to fight using teamwork and develop camaraderie with their fellow soldiers. Warforged now find it difficult to fit in and find friends.
Though warforged don't have gender-specific shapes each some choose to identify as one or the other, and those who can afford it pay to have their bodies altered to reflect their chosen personality.
Warforged were initially property, and were sold to people who could afford them. The treaty that ended the The Great War also freed the warforged. In some lands, however, a system of indentured servitude still keeps warforged under strict control. Some people resent the warforged, seeing them as a symbol of the horrors of the The Great War and claim that since their power core is a Khyber Shard they are little more than demons in metal bodies. Those who come to know warforged personally discover that they have much to offer the nations of Khorvaire in times of peace.

Other People

The warforged mindset was conditioned for combat, so warforged use familiar categories to assess others. Commanders are people whom a warforged is willing to take orders from. Comrades are people the warforged fights alongside on a regular basis. Allies are those who share a goal with the warforged, though warforged are well aware that alliances can be short-lived. Civilians are neither enemies nor allies, and warforged were trained to ignore civilians. Foes are those whose goals contradict those of the warforged, but warforged rarely feel hatred toward foes.
