The forged are race of pseudo sentient machines, built by those with access to the arcane through an Arcane Conduit. During the process the creator can instil a handful of definitive commands, and those commands must be adhered to or the machine will shut down. Such commands as; You shall not kill are often used, but if their intention is one of combat or protection, then a more precise command can be used, such as; You shall not harm your creator. These commands will prevent the machine from taking certain actions, but too precise a command and it can be circumvented, and to broad a command might cause the machine to shut down. Mechanical in appearance, although materials vary as does the power source, what they all share is imbued core that is both the heart and brain of the creature. |
