Ancient wars with the dwarves always ended in the mountains. The harsh cold and constant rolling boulders turned many campaigns into failures. In a fit of rage, an Elf general decided to fix this issue. Knowing what humans had done with the creation of the warforged, this general whose name has been forgotten by history decided to do something better. With his cabal of engineers, she created a living doll. This machine doll, a mere exoskeleton, was the first of her kind. Taken in as the daughter of the general, she would personally tinker and modify her until she was not only a thinking machine but a combat-ready weapon. Early tests proved that her joints would not be the best in the cold, but otherwise, she was perfect. The machine doll was mass-produced by the elves, and two platoons worth were sent to attack the dwarfs.

When the dolls came across the dwarves, they saw just what the siege had done to them: frail, broken bodies, starving for food and water. Hopeless beings sometimes willing to take their own lives just to end the pain. About to break, about to shatter. These cruel conditions made both platoons split upon the issue, and fight each other. The quick battle left a fourth of the original machine dolls to survive, who marched back down into the Elvish camp and brought emergency supplies to the dwarves under the guise of trying to save an enslaved, starving soldier legion.

The dolls sided with the dwarfs, exposing their secrets and allowing them to fight back. The siege was routed, and the dolls were crowned heroes. The veterans of war asked that if any more of their kind should be made, they should be allowed to have free will. With an agreement made between the dwarves and machine dolls, a small factory would be built to produce more machine dolls. Elves, of course, kept creating them in an attempt to finish this eternal confrontation. In the end, these automatons started getting uses besides war.

Machine dolls do not have a real sense of community and are treated as second-class citizens in most societies. Most of them do work as servants, maids or nurses, although doing any kind of job they like is possible. Most of them treat smith workers with respect or fear, depending on their history, as they are not fond of manipulating metal themselves. Magic is fascinating for them, but difficult, so it is rare to find them involved with magic working.

Their names can be whatever they wish, but most tend to go with technical terms such as "Glitch", "Gear", "Bolt", "Penny", and "Nickel" and/or numbers. There is not a clear distinction of names between genders unless they get it from an external source. They can change their name at will, but it is uncommon.
