Eidolon
8 variants
Eidolons are incorporeal undead constructs, forged from the souls of devout followers who have sworn eternal oaths to their deities. Bound to sacred sites, they serve as vigilant guardians, ensuring that these hallowed grounds remain undisturbed.
Manifested Form
Eidolons lack a physical form, existing as spiritual entities tethered to specific locations. To interact with the material world, they inhabit specially prepared statues—often humanoid in shape and constructed from magically treated purple stone. These statues typically bear blank faces adorned with a crude symbol or rune representing their deity.
Eternal Vigilance
Programmed with unwavering loyalty, eidolons possess no free will beyond their directive to guard their assigned site. However, over time, the divine spark within them can lead to corruption or madness. Such rogue eidolons may develop delusions of godhood, turning against their creators and seeking to usurp or destroy the very cults they once protected.
Sacred Hierarchy
Eidolons do not form societies in the traditional sense. Their existence is singularly focused on their role as guardians. However, in regions where eidolons are revered, such as certain areas of Exandria, local cultures may develop spiritual hierarchies or traditions centered around these entities, entrusting elders or shamans with the responsibility of interpreting the will of the eidolons and maintaining harmony with them.
