Arcai

Summary

The Arcai are super intelligent magical constructs made by the first of the gods, Sar'aan, to protect the Astrals from the Titans long before the first Astral Crusade.

Physical Description

The Arcai stand over 365cm tall (with some specialist forms standing well over 6 meters). They have a smooth crystalline skin that glows with the element they embody, most of which is covered in a deep grey steel shell. The Arcai have four arms, two pairs bisecting from two elbows, leading only to two broad shoulders. Their legs Bisect at the knee in much the same way, each leg pair behaves as a single leg when moving at high speeds and splays apart when the construct needs extra support, such as when engaging in rigorous combat. The head looks much like a thin tower made from the same grey steel of the body, with three tips (one at the back, two at each side). Between the tips of the head is an orb of energy used for sight which glows with the same color of the body.

Psychological Description

The Arcai behave in some ways like other constructs, following their masters instructions until new orders are issued. However unlike most constructs Arcai have a much greater grasp on the nuances of combat, and are capable of flanking and changing between numerous elemental forms. Arcai have even been known to generate elemental weapons such as swords of Ice or lances of lightning.

Range of Habitation

Throughout Tor'Saarn

Cultural Basics

Although the Arcai are powerful and intelligent combatants they do not (usually) bare sentience in the usual way, having no will of their own. As such, they have not developed a culture.

History

The Arcai were created to guard the Astrals before the creation of the realms, but most were destroyed soon after their creation by the Titan-Minds. A handful now exist within the bounds of Tor'Saarn, and will likely continue to have an impact on the world as a whole.
