    Kolyarut Inevitables are ancient creatures constructed by long-forgotten beings to act as reality-wide vengeance for nefarious oath-breakers. They are courteous and talkative, often very gracious, knowledgeable, and even helpful to those in need, but will abandon them without hesitation if it helps them complete their quest. There are few Kolyarut left, so their contract-breaking targets are limited to extremely dangerous known offenders. In their normal form, they appear to be a magical mechanical statue with a long, flowing golden cloak and a massive, bastard sword with a 2' wide blade. The Kolyarut possess the ability to disguise themselves as cloaked warriors with heavy plate armor, so the clanging and clinking heard as their bodies move is believed to be the sounds of their armor and weapon. These Inevitables also have the power to render themselves completely invisible so they may observe their target or any possible allies. Instinct: To uphold all bargains, deals, and contracts

    • Crush enemies with impossibly heavy attacks

    Thanadaemons are the embodiment of the end of life. They represent death by old age, and they act as a cruel joke to the living. Thanadaemons use Astradaemons as hunting hounds, and if hurt can kill one to absorb the souls it has devoured. These demons are known manipulators. They offer weak or underpowered foes deals in exchange for help, protection, or anything else they might desires, as Thanadaemons have the unique ability to use their deathly knowledge to see an enemy's gravest fears. These evil creatures have learned to harness the very power of fear itself to summon the deepest fears in an enemy and send the bravest warriors running. While there are an unknown numbers of Thanadaemons hidden amongst the planes of reality, they all share a single hivemind.
