Homebrew Automaton Species Details

Automaton were created 200 years ago, when a group of miners discovered a magically reinforced material within the meteor at the center of the crater on the mainland. After mining the metal they discovered it had magical properties that, under the right conditions, could house the soul of a person who had died. The first automaton was Stanley Gildas, after whom the company was named, and who had been the original discoverer of the mysterious metal. Gildas Corp. began mass-producing automata, selling families their loved ones back for a profit.
