A testament to the Dragon’s unparalleled command of the Elemental Winds, Cathayan Sentinels are not merely statues, but colossal, animated warriors brought forth from the very earth. While popular lore often refers to ‘Terracotta Sentinels’, reserving that specific term for the guardians meticulously crafted from magically charged red earth along the Great Bastion, these towering figures can in fact be fashioned from any stone native to the lands they safeguard. This allows them to seamlessly emerge from the landscape, adding to their mystique. On the battlefield, their true might is unleashed. They are nigh impervious to the sharpest blade or the heaviest blow, their stone forms shrugging off attacks that would fell a lesser warrior. With each ponderous, powerful swing of their colossal armaments, they are capable of scything through entire regiments, transforming disciplined formations into scattered, broken ranks.
