Monotans

Monotans are steam and alchemy powered automatons that were created by one of the greatest Alchemist who ever lived. Neits Nave lived over a thousand years ago, and created more than a hundred of these shiny mechanized men. Today, only about a dozen are believed to still exist.

Most of them were either destroyed by the naive who feared them, or they were captured and dissected to be studied. Despite this, no one has ever been able to replicate his work completely. Some have made simple automatons that can carry out minor tasks once they are wound up. A very few have found a way to make them self-winding and able to follow just a few instructions. No one has found out how he gave them a mind and will of their own though.

Monotans are rarely seen, and are typically as good, evil, aggressive, or peaceful as the average human. Some more so, and some less. Montans are as strong as ten men, as fast as a horse, have skin as hard as metal, and have a perfect memory.
