Warforged

The warforged are an incredible rare class of constructed mechanical beings. Inta created the first warforged and their sibling constructs. After the Ascension the art was lost to time.

Today, most warforged are relics of a past era. The Autonomous Clockwork Collective is the largest group of advanced warforged in the world. The Library is too large and complex to be called a warforged. The more common constructs that can be found in cities are usually smaller and less advanced than a full warforged, but the difference is not always obvious to an untrained eye.

Any construct has a personality core--in essence their "soul". The current problem is the more complex a core is, the more emotional and capable of self-realization, the smaller body a core is able to manage. A huge construct like a ship or a city can usually only manage yes/no, and it's debatable how much awareness they have. On the flip side, a lifelike construct is likely to be incredible small. Artificers and inventors have made advancements pushing the size up but the most cutting edge, experimental warforged today are around the size of halflings. Any larger and they begin to lose vital functions.

Iormund Whitequill and his sister, Iorwen Whitequill, are the most advanced warforged created by mortals in recent time. Their creator, Rhazovire, studied at the Library and was able to make twin complex personality cores able to handle very large bodies. After his death the secret was lost once again to history.
