You did not come into this world through the usual means. You were built with meticulous care and precision, every joint and cog placed with purpose by your creator. The intent behind your construction may vary, from performing menial tasks such as manual labor to more complex functions, such as serving as an envoy for royalty.

While most Automatons follow the instructions and programming of their creators, there are those who possess an enigmatic quality, something that sets them apart from their mechanical brethren. Some believe that these Automatons have been imbued with free will, that they possess an elusive quality of self-determination that enables them to empathize with Flesh Walkers, the living beings of this world.

There are whispers among some tinkerers and craftsmen that these special Automatons possess something akin to a soul, a mystical enchantment woven into their power core that allows them to feel and to think in a way that is not purely mechanical. Whether this is true or not remains a mystery, but there is no denying that there is something special about these machines, something that sets them apart from their purely utilitarian counterparts.

As you journey through this world, you may find that your own nature is not as clear-cut as you once believed. Perhaps you, too, possess a quality of free will, a spark of something that sets you apart from your peers. Only time will tell what your true purpose in this world will be, but you can be certain that you are not like the others. You are unique, and that is something to be cherished.

In the ancient land of Zin, a great war raged between the forces of light and the dreaded Darkness. Desperate to turn the tide of battle, the ingenious Gnomes devised a formidable weapon - the Automatons. These mechanical warriors were created to fight alongside their flesh and blood counterparts and bring about the ultimate victory.

Alas, the Gnomes' hopes were dashed as the horde of Darkness descended upon their homeland of Geddon, destroying everything in its path. The Automatons, once the pride of the Gnomish army, were lost, forgotten, or destroyed in the chaos of the war. But some survived, having been hidden away or lost in the wilds of Zin.

Most of these surviving Automatons were programmed for war, their every move a brutal display of their destructive capabilities. Yet, over time, many Gnomes and tinkerers have taken it upon themselves to repurpose these machines, imbuing them with new functions and abilities. Some Automatons have even found their own way, breaking free from their programming through self-discovery and introspection.

Now the Automatons of Zin serve a variety of purposes. Some act as guardians of ancient ruins or protectors of the Gnomish settlements, while others are used for more mundane tasks like farming or construction. Still, others have been repurposed for more nefarious purposes, their power being harnessed by those who seek to sow chaos and destruction. Whatever their function, the Automatons remain a testament to the Gnomes' ingenuity and resourcefulness, a symbol of their enduring legacy in the land of Zin.
