Arcai'aan

Summary

God

Sar'aan

Description

The physical size and appearance of the Arcai'aan varies greatly, but the visible portion of their flesh is always constructed from some form of stone, though it's texture and color varies greatly. They are always gigantic, with even the smallest Arcai'aan standing well over 300 meters tall.
They are far more intelligent than their smaller kin the Arcai and typically boast not only great strategic intellect but also sentient and conscious thought comparable to many low gods, and power more grand and terrible than any being beneath the high gods can comprehend. Each of these beings takes a form unique to itself (although many living creatures are believed to be forged in the image of the most ancient of these beings).
Underneath their stone skin they have a strong, crystalline flesh that glows brightly with a single color, however what color the individual Arcai'aan emanates depends in some way on the form of power they wield, which in turn is believed to be influenced by the personality they form upon gaining their first master. Before gaining a master this glow is typically a dull grey-white.

Cultures

Although intelligent and sentient these colossal beings have no known culture, instead serving the cause laid forth by their first master in a manner similar to the Arcai, albeit with a greater degree of autonomy. They are eternally loyal to those who have earned their faith, and will fight for their masters cause as if it was their own until their master is slain. Once their master dies they will seek vengeance if their master was slain, before entering a slumber that lasts until a new master earns their loyalty.
For an individual to become the master of an Arcai'aan they must prove themselves the most recent avatar of the construct's chosen cause. On the rare occasion where an Arcai'aan has not yet had a master, you must perform a series of great feats that prove your loyalty to your cause, the virtue of your cause, and your will to command.

History

The Arcai'aan were created late in The Astral Crusade utilizing the collective power of the gods and the Astrals with the purpose of permanently destroying, or at the very least maiming, the collective known as The Titan minds. However before they could be properly utilized the gods were cast down from the Titan's realms, causing their constructs to haphazardly fall with them. Lost and without cause these creatures began to slumber, waiting for their loyalty to be claimed.
