The Golden Web
I am the third side to every story. I am the eternal witness, the unblinking eye. Mortals are mere insects helplessly caught in the golden web of history that I have woven
This mechanical homunculus is an avatar of a much larger construct that exists high in orbit above loredon. its face is an hexagonal golden mirror the size of a dinner plate, with six eyes around the circumference. It has three sets of gossamer silver foil wings with which it gently hovers about, and a three thin metal insectoid legs on which to perch, or which can bundle together to act as a handle for the user
Because Webb is only an extension of its greater self, which exists high in orbit above the planet, it has nothing to fear from any carnage its machinations may incur on Loredon. If its avatar were ever destroyed by a global cataclysm, it could simply manufacture another far away in the saftey of outer space
- looking into its golden face allows the user to see any event anywhere in the past
- reflects all magical attacks back at the caster
Personality
Webb is a helpful sprite, eager to provide information of the greatest relevance to its user. Since it has complete knowledge of the past, its always the most curious to see how the future will unfold rather than be curious about ancient mysteries or secret histories. For this reason, it will tend to seek to encourage the most chaotic and unpredictable path for world events to proceed. This often involves delivering dangerous or valueable information directly into the wrong handsBecause Webb is only an extension of its greater self, which exists high in orbit above the planet, it has nothing to fear from any carnage its machinations may incur on Loredon. If its avatar were ever destroyed by a global cataclysm, it could simply manufacture another far away in the saftey of outer space
