Cathayan Sentinels are creations born of the Dragon’s mastery of the Elemental Winds – each one a towering animated statue fashioned in the form of a great warrior. Although the people of Grand Cathay speak widely of ‘Terracotta Sentinels’, it is only those that stand guard along the Great Bastion that are crafted from this magically charged red earth. Sentinels can be made of any stone, usually matching the land which they protect. No matter what they're made of, in battle they are fearsome indeed – almost impervious to physical attacks, and able to decimate entire formations of troops with each swing of their enormous weapons.
