Homebrew Derelict Warforged Species Details
The warforged were built to fight - that's all we know. The first warforged were mindless automatons, this is indicated by the zombie-like automatons which roam the land without direction. However, somewhere along the vast history of the warforged a breakthrough in their development must have been made as derelict warforged can be re-awakened; once re-awakened, these warforged were sentient and 'living' yet seem to have no memory of their origins. Warforged are made from wood and metal, but they can feel pain and emotion. Researchers believe that they were built as weapons to aid in a long-forgotten war. It's almost impossible to tell how old these beings are, though data seems to indicate that the predate all modern technologies and developments by many millions of years; this is surprising due to their complex composition and the use of magic and mechanics in harmony - a concept which our modern inventors seem to find difficult to grasp. After being awakened from their deactivation, they must now find a purpose in a world where their creators are long-dead and nature has ravaged their corporeal shells. The derelict warforged can be sturdy and reliable allies, mindless killing machines, or visionaries in search of a purpose and meaning.
