Aeormaton

Aeormatons are artificial humanoid constructs created by the people of Aeor during the Age of Arcanum.

Appearance
Aeormatons from the time of Aeor's fall are humanoid in shape. Their bodies are made of metal, and they have smooth heads with no nose, a defined jaw, and eyes that glow a dull blue when powered on. Some have decorative etchings and filigree engraved into their body. Inside their chest cavity is a red crystal which plugs into a socket. The gem appears to be the central power unit for an aeormaton.

At least one aeormaton, Fresh Cut Grass, was created after the re-emergence of Aeor's "arcane guardians", and was built much smaller and with a wheel instead of two legs, but still has blue eyes.

History
In 836 PD, the Mighty Nein encountered a number of destroyed aeormatons in their exploration of Aeorian ruins. In the Praesidis Ward, they partially repaired an aeormaton and named him "Charlie". They later brought this aeormaton to a repair terminal in the Genesis Ward, where they were fully restored. The aeormaton, whose true designation was Devexian, parted ways from the Mighty Nein to find his associates.

After Devexian was brought back online, he went about reactivating many other aeormatons, who began to leave their ruined home city and find their way in an Exandria much different than the one they remembered. By 843 PD, "arcane guardians" had been seen by those as far away as Jrusar in Marquet.

Known Aeormatons

 * Devexian: An aeormaton found and repaired by the Mighty Nein in the Praesidis Ward.
 * Fresh Cut Grass: An aeormaton cleric living in Marquet in 843 PD and a member of the Bells Hells.
 * Dweomer: An aeormaton who lived in Avalir, pre-Calamity, and worked with Laerryn Coramar-Seelie on the city's infrastructure.

Trivia

 * Aeormatons are the Exandrian equivalent of the Warforged from the Eberron setting, and would presumably use the same statistics.
 * Doty, a humanoid mechanical construct created by Taryon Darrington, is not considered an aeormaton, although he shares several features with them. Doty acts more like a computer programmed to do specific tasks and responds to commands, rather than having free will, like Devexian exhibited.
