The Warforged

In Races

For Eldham

Description
The Warforged is a race made out of magically enchanted metals and earth. Warforges specifically specialize in combat and weapon making/armor molding. They are relatively uncommon in the wild, and there are few living, with an undetermined average lifespan as their enchants keep them alive for an extradionarily long time and most die in the heat of combat. The Warforged race was found for the first time in the Pathinir Forest, currently owned by the Iron Freeholds, and since then have migrated and spread throughout the lands, preferably traveling alone. Warforges are truly menacing as their name shows they are war-ready and when collecting an army can take down nations by the masses, however their sense of working alone shadows this and few, but some may become powerful allies with nations.

Looks
The Warforged have metallic guards around them, that can be made of either one type of metal or a mixture of two. As Warforges age, their earthy bits which are originally stone begin to weaken and become brittle dirt, and it continues to age until a warforge dies in which it's body will seep into the ground and only the guards will remain. Some Warforges have the ability to mimic human faces, and if this isn't possible, they will most likely have a golem-type helm on their head as shown by the picture.

Sub-Types
Envoy- The rarest of all the Warforged. They are typically made of heat/corrosion resistant metals, and have a faster paced mind than other Warforges making them excel in sword combat. Came from the Juggernaut sub-race when rarer enchantments were thrown in the mix.

Ponam Aereas (Juggernaut)- The most common of the Warforged. Typically made of any type of metal that is abundant in the area, and you specifically specialize in using a shield and axe combat. The first of the Warforge race discovered.

Velitator- In the middle when it comes to the rarity. They are made of lighter metals as they are known for being able to outmaneuver their heavier brethren. They are decent when it comes to both combat, but amaze with their horseback riding. Born from crossbreeding an Envoy and Juggernaut, or simply passing the gene for velitator over.

Watchers of the Gate- A newer subspecies of Warforged has arrived in Eldham which are composed of all metal parts and are distinctly different from Warforged from Eldham because of their mannerisms and there longer than average life spans but no reproductive mechanisms. This subspecies lives in tight knit communities and repair each other and have a shared culture and beliefs. It is unknown where this species come from, but they are not related to the native Warforged originally from Eldham.
