Compared to other D&D races, the warforged are unique because they were physically created as tools of war. Originally golems with the ability to learn and adapt on the battlefield, warforged became self-aware over time. Consequentially, this awareness led to questioning of their own existence and a desire to live beyond the pointless wars and conflicts.
As more warforged gained sentience and questioned the reality in which they existed, they rebelled against their masters and fled the field of battle in an effort to live a more peaceful life, away from of the bloodshed and death of conflict. Stories of their success in conflict spread far, and though they largely seek a peaceful life, they face discrimination from others who still fear them. In Karrnath and Thrane, they are seen as the property of military forces, with most serving as slave labor to repair roads and buildings damaged in the wars.
While warforged can certainly make fearsome enemies, they also make loyal and steadfast allies.
Personality
Like their human creators, they experience fear, hatred, pain, and anger. Most of the warforged naturally seem reserved and pensive. While their faces are not designed to display facial expressions, leaving them with a constant thousand-yard stare, they do experience emotions and hide an array of feelings behind these inexpressive faces.

Most of their names are assigned at construction; in general these names are straightforward and related to their job function. Additionally, allies can give them nicknames and they happily accept those names. Occasionally, some warforged adopt a personal name after a significant period of soul searching.
Warforged Lands
Warforged have no homeland as they originated in Cyre before its destruction. However, many Warforged have dispersed across Khorvaire, laboring as indentured servants in Koorth, Flamekeep, and Andatur; ultimately their aspiration is to build a new Warforged society free from the prejudice and mistrust of the older races.
