Axiomites and Inevitables

From the Lyrian, the Tranquil Order, come these extra-dimensional entities...

  A particular axiomite may look like any humanoid creature, though the particular form it takes on does not affect its abilities. Beneath this assumed form, all axiomites are the same—clouds of glowing, crystalline dust that constantly swirls and congeals into complex tangles of symbols and equations, evincing their existence as literal creatures of pure mathematical law.   According to the Axiomites, their kind rose from the raw mathematical underpinnings of the universe, manifesting as great builders who created the ancient, colossal cities of Deia-rei, Lyrian, and more, and gave life to the mechanical Inevitables.   x   The Inevitables are very much living but constructed manifestations of the universe itself, created and maintained by the Axiomites, but the spark of consciousness comes from the laws of reality itself. The Axiomites themselves do not truly understand it.   The original Axiomites were formed in the Lyrian, and were divided when some allied and communed with the Aeons of the Deia-rei, while others thought balance got in the way of order and law. In the greatest planar war of the Story of Lyrian, the side of Lawful Order won and the Axiomites of wisdom and balance were killed or banished, and now reside upon the Deia-rei with the Aeons. However, some that fought for the losing side did not ally with the stoic balance of the Deia-rei, and such fled elsewhere. Those that reside now upon the Stygia continue to perform great feats of mathmatically enabled recreation and destruction, destroying the old to make it into something different, without ever leaving something as it is. Those that reside now upon the Edinhomn continue to perform great feats of mathmatically enabled perfection, taking the old and adding to it endlessly.         Marut
The Marut, is tasked with hunting down those who cheat death and granting them the end they escaped.   Kolyarut
Kolyarut are designed to uphold oaths both spoken and written.   Quarut
The Quarut are tasked with delivering justice to those who meddle with time and relative dimensions in space, causing rippling effects and distort space and all kinds of other relativistic things.   Varakhut
The most potent and rare kind of Inevitable, the Varakhut are meant to uphold the divine order. All those who would seek to destroy the gods, or become one themselves, will eventually get into conflict with these potent beings.   Zelekhut
Zelekhut are centaur-shaped beings with porcelain skin, golden clockwork, mechanical wings and long, bladed chains that can extend from their forearms. They are tasked with hunting down fugitives of the law, to either bring them in for their proper punishment or, if deemed necessary, carry out the death sentence they escaped.   Anhydrut, or Waste Crawlers
Little is known of the Anhydrut, but they appear as mechanical scorpions as large as a city wall, and come to reinforce natural laws of the world.   Heirut
Heirut enforce restrictions on the random use of the Runic Script, although are much more feared in high magic societies. The Jotun made a deal with them and the Erinion mages found their weakness.   Weakness: Cold Iron, Chaos Form, Spice-based magic, and any sort of chaotic rending damage.   IN AETERNUM. AD INFINITUM.
