==Hehlus Sphinxae==

Little is known of the Hehlus Sphinxae as it was a creature of pre-[[Great Storm]] [[Farah’deen]]. [[Sariyd]] myths frequently spoke of these beings, wise beyond their years and often positioned at the feet of the great mountain ranges that dominated the inland of the arid continent. They were often approached by folk heroes and even [[Dragons]] for their knowledge and wisdom, always speaking in riddles and issuing challenges to others. They supposedly appeared as bright yellow creatures of living stone, with vast wings which would spread to practically envelop all the area around them and those that approached them. Their faces were often hidden by blinding light, but were said to be humanoid, while their bodies also featured four limbs like a feline or canine. The greatest of the Hehlus Sphinxae was named Khafarran, who supposedly taught knowledge to the ancient Sariyd leader their history named as “The First Prince.” It is often assumed that the Great Storm wiped out these Constructs, but some [[Songaskian]] tales speak of encounters with these creatures over the past four centuries. It is uncertain if these tales hold any truth or merit.

~~==Dakkar==~~

Despite the generally villainous personalities attributed to them by [[Dwarven]] sources, the Dakkar are considered Constructs, as chroniclers of other Races found them to be almost mindless and without personality. Dwelling deep beneath the earth, the Dakkar appeared to be the deep turned living, formed of moving rock and magma, and matching their heat with an explosive temper; when the Dwarves breached their subterranean home, the Dakkar flew into an unending rage and poured into the Dwarven Holds by the thousands. Who created them is unknown, and if there was something more the Dwarves did to invoke the wrath of the Dakkar. Regardless, the Dakkar lacked a formal language, organization, or ability to reason, attacking the Dwarves relentlessly for over two centuries. Only when a strange illness began to kill the Dakkar did they retreat from the Dwarven lands in fear, and have not been seen since. When defeated, their bodies always collapsed into rapidly hardened rock and the inner fire flickered out. As a result, their bodies offer little information on their nature, though some claim aspects of these remains are immune to high heats.
