„Nie rodzą się, nie oddychają, nie umierają — a jednak coś w ich spojrzeniu przypomina senne marzenia kamieni.”
— Pondo, wędrowny druid
Rasa świadomych konstruktów stworzonych z misternych mechanizmów zębatkowych, silników parowych oraz magii. Wytworzeni przez mistrzów rzemiosła, emanują precyzją oraz niezłomnością. Ich ciała, wykonane z lśniącego metalu, nierzadko ozdobione misternymi zębatkami i tłokami, stanowią świadectwo pomysłowości ich twórców. Choć pozbawieni komponentów biologicznych, posiadają bystry umysł i silne poczucie celu, napędzani pragnieniem odkrywania siebie i dążenia do postępu. Mimo że często postrzegani jedynie jako maszyny, Cogforged to indywidualne istoty z własnymi nadziejami, marzeniami i aspiracjami.
