World of Warcraft Races
Earthen
Alliance / Horde
The Earthen are a prehistoric, titan-forged race originally created by the Titanic Keepers to help shape and delve into the deep, subterranean regions of Azeroth. While many Earthen from northern facilities succumbed to the Curse of Flesh and slowly evolved into modern mortal Dwarves, the Earthen of Khaz Algar remained preserved in their original rock-and-gem composition.
For thousands of years, they were strictly divided into factions bound to specific, literal programming called the "Titan Edicts". Over centuries of isolation, their vital machinery began to break down and fail, leaving their society on the brink of structural collapse and extinction. When surface heroes arrived, they helped the Earthen repair the Awakening Machine and shed their rigid, ancient directives. Newly freed, the Earthen now venture out into the world with boundless curiosity to join both the Alliance and the Horde.
A monumental fortress forged of stone, gold, and geometric precision, Dornogal stands as the proud capitol of the Earthen. Built into the sprawling mountains at the heart of the Isle of Dorn, this towering city blends immense titan-industrial architecture with vast, open plazas. It serves as a sanctuary where the surface world meets the deep subterranean kingdoms below.

Because the Earthen were built to run like an efficient societal machine, their leadership was traditionally broken into specialized functional castes:
Azerite Surge
Hyper Productive
Ingest Minerals
Titan-Wrought Frame
Wide-Eyed Wonder
Quiet Contemplation
