Constructs are the creations of the Makers, given life by a Heart Stone forged of a Maker's soul. Unlike most beings in Creation, the souls of Makers are far too ancient to be drawn into the Kingdom of the Dead, and thus the Well of Souls. As such, their souls are used by their kin to create Heart Stones that are then used to give new life to constructs. Some constructs retain the memories of their lives as Makers and have bodies of flesh and blood in their dreams.
There are other methods of creating constructs, however. The Maker Shaman Muria attempted to use a fire spirit to give life to a construct, but the result was an utterly insane and murderous being. The Mad Smith created the Abyssal Forge to draw on the power of the Abyss to create powerful and destructive constructs. However, the Abyssal Forge, like its master, was utterly mad, implying that only a Makers soul can be used to create stable constructs.
By the time the End War was concluded with the forces of Hell standing triumphant over the kingdoms of heaven and mankind, most of the constructs in the Forge Lands had either been destroyed or had succumbed to Corruption, while those sent to Earth were enslaved by the Destroyer.
