Warforged

The warforged are a race of sentient constructs that are relics from the age of the Ventari Empire. Once their masters disappeared during the Endless Night, they suddenly found themselves with freedom for the first time. Some of the warforged went insane with this knowledge, but others quite liked the idea of directing their own life.

The process of creating a warforged has been lost with the disappearance of the Ventari Empire, but the basics of it were that a person's soul was tethered to a suit of magical armor. They were typically used as shock troopers in battle.

Warforged tend to be stoic, though their personalities and customs vary wildly from one warforged to the next. They live as long as their body is not destroyed completely. If such happens, the soul quickly departs and cannot be brought back with resurrection magics.
