Automa

The automa are a mechanical race created by the First Ones to take care of their realm of Zereth Mortis and ensure that it fulfills its purpose of creating afterlives. They come in several different types, namely builders, protectors, and casters, as well as the diminutive and more independent jiro, who have more personality than the others and have in some cases split off to pursue their own desires. The automa speak the language of their creators—a musical, runic language that Maw Walkers will need to learn how to understand through the Cypher of the First Ones.

During the war against the Jailer, a number of automa were corrupted by Domination magic and joined the ranks of the Mawsworn to serve Zovaal the Jailer.

• Fractal Cypher of the Carcinized Zerethsteed is a guaranteed drop from Heroic or Mythic The Jailer in Sepulcher of the First Ones before Dragonflight launches.
• Fractal Cypher of the Zereth Overseer is a guaranteed drop from Mythic The Jailer in Sepulcher of the First Ones.

• Archetype of Focus, Omnipotential Core and Resonant Echo are crafted from Protoform Synthesis.
• Geordy is a rare drop from Ephemera Orbs in Zereth Mortis.
• Pocopoc Traveler is bought from Olea Manu in Zereth Mortis for.

• The Guardian of the First Ones, added in patch 9.1, was the first automa to appear in World of Warcraft, but the race's name wasn't revealed until patch 9.2.
• Automa Integration can turn players into functional automa, and Protopological Cube into the prototypes found in the Sepulcher of the First Ones.
