[QUOTE="nameless, post: 2720364, member: 1543"] I'm a fan of all the races, but warforged particularly interest me. There is so much potential pathos in the race. They are all adventurers and are going to be noticed wherever they pop up. Every day they are reminded that they are not truly living, when their fleshy friends eat and sleep. How does a civilized race spend the 8-12 hours a day when everyone else is asleep? It must be very lonely. I imagine that even the most dedicated warrior probably takes up a craft or profession (poetry, maybe) just to have something to do at night. True warrior-poets. And on top of that, warforged have no family, no society, no country, and no longer have an explicit purpose. They have a soul, but nobody knows where it comes from or where it goes. The isolation and alienation themes really make heroic warforged that much more impressive in my mind. And the mystery of how they were created ties together so much of the world, with that hint of the unknown that makes Eberron so appealing. [/QUOTE]
