Lore:Fabricants

are the part organic, part inorganic constructs created by Sotha Sil and are designed to emulate the form and behavior of their Tamrielic counterparts. They are constructed from an amalgam of grown flesh and metallic grafts and are powered by a soul gem,   in factories known as Incarnatoriums. They are then stored in fabrication tanks from which they will eventually emerge. They usually dwell in the Clockwork City, and can resemble the creatures of the land, air, and sea. The majority of Fabricants were created to emulate predatory animals since the synthetic realm was inhospitable to most forms of organic plant life prior to introduction of the  . Sometimes they might not resemble anything known to Nirn, such as the Verminous Fabricant and the Hulking Fabricant. 

Fabricants are rumored to have existed since before the disappearance of the Dwemer  and survived past the demise of Sotha Sil.  To the Clockwork Apostles, they are also known as the Fabri'siraynosim ("the merged-ones")  and are rumored to be the first step towards the convergence of nature and engineering,  and the creation of the perfect lifeform. 

At an unknown time, fabricants that resemble birds were created. Their creation was likely sometime after the Vestige's journey in the Clockwork city in the  . During this journey, crow daedra accompanied Nocturnal's invasion of the Clockwork City. The crows surprised the people of the Brass Fortress, as the winged creatures seemed foreign to them. No living birds up to that point are believed to have set foot in Clockwork City. 

Abominations are similar to fabricants, but are a perversion of Sotha Sil's goal of creating a perfect lifeform. They were created by the Clockwork Apostle,  .

Similar to fabricants are the constructs Sotha Sil created known as  s, but they differ in that they are completely synthetic and are usually more humanoid in appearance.

It is unknown if Clockwork Dreugh are fabricants, but they follow a similar naming pattern to other fabricants. They were constructs created by Sotha Sil before the disappearance of the Dwemer. It is said that Vivec asked Sotha Sil to come up with some plan to help stop the Dwemer's Automatons from slaughtering the Chimer during the Battle of Red Mountain.  Out of necessity, Sotha Sil created an army of Clockwork Dreugh that were inspired by Dwemeri war machines, to be used against the Dwemer. They were said to have risen up from the seas and took their counterparts to the water beneath to be swallowed by the sea.
