Homebrew Die Tuchknechte Species Details

Der Tuchknecht, or, as the commons call them, 'the Restless,' now bear most of the labor of the Dark Continent's mainland. Scholars note that the island peoples build no factotums, therefore they have yet to spread overseas.

This Kind is of a small to medium stature, with dense frames of carved wood exhaling a metallic vapor. One may mark, across a blackened room, their unblinking yellow eyes which weep their own light.

Unlike kinds born of the chaotic generation of the Weave, this kind was made of method alone. This kind was made by Raimund the Inventor; he made them to operate his mills in tandem with other kinds; selling them to anyone who would pay. Of the rest, nothing is known; as the man disappeared with the secret to life in a fiery smoke.

The race was originally created in Grabmeer and was adopted quickly by local civilian and military factions. Over time they spread across their home country.

This Kind, as intended, is naturally motivated to form into guilds, they seek out a leader and make chains of growing complexity to aid them. This can be: a mill which finds its own resources to produce for its owner, an army which ensures the commander's intent is reached without delay, or city workers able to repair streets during heavy storms.

In terms easy to understand, this kind knows their world in faults that they and their leader are tasked with fixing. One should note they go into a sorrowful wonder should their leader die; in search of a new purpose they may never find.

They speak a dialect of simplified, pointed common created by Raimund the Inventor to suit their mill role better.

Roleplay Notes
These creatures always bear a goal in mind, and pursue it by any means, persuading others to do the same.
