Khemric Titan

Beneath the shifting and endless sands of Nehekhara dwell age-old secrets and timeless horrors to freeze the soul of any who dare disturb their slumber, and many are the legends and whispered tales that are gathered about them. Of these, one of the most fabled and feared is that of the gigantic scarabs and carrion-beetles said to dwell beneath the sands. While there are those who scoff at stories of scarabs the size of fortress keeps raising up wrathful sandstorms against all who intrude upon the ancient lands of the Tomb Kings of Khemri, there are those few beyond the Lands of the Dead who know that a terrible truth lies beneath them. Known to the loremasters of Tilea and the Empire as Khemric Titans, these giant arcane constructs of stone and onyx, bejewelled and enamelled with the wealth and glory of a bygone age, tower above even the dreaded Necrosphinx in size, animated by the mightiest incantations of the fallen glory of the south.

It is unknown how many were fashion in ancient days, and how many even of these likely few have survived, but it is known they were set to slumber as guardians far away from the funeral armies of their kings of old, set to stand watch over sites of terrible evil and the homes of foul monsters from the dawning of the world, and there are few forces or creatures able to contest them in battle. The source of their great power stems from the fact they are no mere beast of animated stone, for contained within a Khemric Titan is the resting place of a long dead heir of Khemri, and sometimes more rarely, an entire dynasty of warrior kin, fallen satraps of the great kings who were buried while they drew breath, sworn to guard the borders of their lords' domains to death as they were in life. The funerary incantations of these shrines of eternities are lodestones for the Winds of Magic, gathering and storing their tremendous power there over the years, and when the winds of magic grow tempestuous they flare into life and unbidden by any Liche Priest the Khemric Titans walk.
