Physical Description:
Warforged are humanoid constructs crafted from a combination of metal, wood, and magical elements. Their appearances vary widely, each one a unique creation with distinct features and designs. Typically standing between 6 and 7 feet tall, they have metallic bodies adorned with intricate engravings, runes, or patterns. Some have smooth, polished surfaces, while others bear scars or weathered textures, showcasing their diverse origins and experiences. Their bodies can exhibit a range of colors, from gleaming silver and bronze to darker tones like gunmetal or iron. Their eyes, often the most expressive part of their visage, emit a faint glow in various colors, reflecting their inner essence or spirit.
History:
Forged within the factories and forges of the Vache Kingdom, Warforged are relatively young creations brought to life by skilled artificers. Crafted for labor, they were initially designed as tools for various tasks. However, some have gained independence and seek their own path in the world, often accompanied by others or forming unique partnerships. Their emergence beyond the Vache Kingdom has sparked debates about their sentience and existence, as many view them merely as tools rather than living beings.
Society:
Warforged have a diverse existence within society, ranging from laborers and servants to individuals seeking autonomy and purpose beyond their initial design. Their societal roles vary based on their capabilities and the circumstances of their creation. While some forge their own paths, many Warforged still exist as companions to others, forming unique bonds with those who appreciate their companionship or skills.
