Facet, female personality psiforged psionic artificer with packmate companion Trundle
Facet looks at Nameless. Had she a face as mobile as most humans, she would have been agog. Or perhaps aghast. To be free? But... why? They were made, created for a purpose. Why freedom? What good would it do them? What could they do? Without direction, purpose, what good what she? She had skills, certainly, but who would hire her? Why pay someone who needed neither food nor sleep nor shelter? What in the world would she do with money if she had it?
The shock of it all sent her reeling.
"We are, were?, a specialist unit. Most of us were purpose-built, unique. We have particular value to House Cannith. We represent an investment. Surely they want to see us back," she says, maybe not quite as confidently as she hoped.
"It is my job to repair them," Facet bristles, as if this interloper with his fantastical tales (Cyre burnt? Whitehearth, gone? All the ones who trained her, deceased?) could do any better than her, who was made to be a repair unit. She turns to get out her tools, Trundle handing them to her eagerly, and brings to mind her infusions to aid her crafting skills, preparing to use her purpose-built talents to bring her unit back up to like-new status. No rag-tag unit of scruffy soldiers would present itself to the House!
[sblock]Facet will use unseen crafter (from Races of Eberron) to aid in her Craft checks as she works on her fellows. It's a 2nd level infusion, lasts 1 day/level, and will craft with my Craft check as I command it to. And it has a +10 bonus when working on warforged.[/sblock]
Nameless considers the warforged in front of him.
They have been here a long time. Three years at least if they know nothing of The Mournland. Although its possible that house Cannith just kept them in the dark.
"The Treaty of Thronehold recognised the Warforged as living beings and granted us the same rights and responsibilities as other sentient beings. Warforged can no longer be owned as property.
"House Cannith no longer owns you.
"You do not have to report back to them.
"Of course you may do if you wish to.
"They may choose to hire you if you have skills they want. Or they may claim everything you have on you as belonging to them, and then turn you out the door. It is not unknown."

Nameless hooks one end of his bow between the plates of his foot and unstrings his bow. He slings it across his back.
"I have some tools and a some ability at repairing damage."
Nameless will assist any warforged that asks, as well as do his best to answer their questions and bring them up to speed, including on the destruction of the Creation Forges. Since the Day of Mourning Nameless has been freelancing across Khovaire, and has crosses the continent at least once. He has seen a fair bit of post-war world.
"Perhaps you should consider waiting here a few days, at least until you are in better repair. It will give you time to make a decision."
