Artificial Races

The artificially created races, few and far between. These ‘people’ are always made by either engineers or magicians looking to create servants and as such ones with free will are considerable failures to their creators, rarely left to wander the world.

The most common are Wyrwoods, simpler and much more obviously artificial, less suitable for heavy duty work. If one turns sentient and manages to get away before their creators discovers it they tend to be shunned from society and hide themselves under layers of armor and cloth so their true forms are never seen.

Less common are androids. Nobody knows where androids come from, neither do the people themselves. They by all means appear as another race, typically humans or dwarves, however they become obvious when cut. They bleed a thin oil, bodies entirely mechanical but made of materials even the smartest gnomes can’t figure out how to make. Let alone how they function, an android’s brain is an immensely valuable artifact to gnomes as a subject of study, pieces of metal with detail so fine it puts even the technocratic council’s work to shame.

Androids themselves as people however always assume to be part of their image’s people, plagued by amnesia and with no memory of a childhood or time before they simply find themselves hidden away on the outskirts of society. When discovered they’re likely to be hunted and strive to avoid conflict, or become so powerful as to overcome any hunters that would see them dismantled.
