Abishais stand outside the normal hierarchy of the Nine Hells, having their own chain of command and ultimately answering to Tiamat (and Asmodeus, when the dark lord chooses to use them). Other archdevils can command abishais to work for them, but most archdevils do so rarely, since it is never clear whether an abishai follows Tiamat’s orders or Asmodeus’s. There is inherent risk in countermanding an order given by Tiamat, but interfering with Asmodeus’s plans invites certain destruction. Instinct: To serve Tiamat

Hortami was a brilliant wizard who worked on commissions for kings and queens, creating potions to improve crop production and new plant varieties. Later, when the continent was ingulfed in war, generals came to Hortami to create plant warriors. The war left much of the natural world destroyed and as the age declined into chaos, Hortami retreated to his greenhouses to continue his radical experiments. Guilty about his humanity, Hortami transferred his spirit and mind to an intelligent plant vessel - a 40 foot tall Tree Ent named Lew. Hortami-Yew now walks the land, spurring the growth of nature wherever it goes. Whole towns can be covered in plant life in a few days when Hortami-Yew is nearby.

"Are you machine or being?" "I am both… and neither. I am my own beginning, my own ending." – James T. Kirk questioning the Guardian of Forever, 2267 ("The City on the Edge of Forever") A Guardian of Forever is a mysterious construct of an unknown, ancient alien race, which functioned as a time portal; a gateway to the time vortex that allowed access to other times, locations and dimensions. One was located on an ancient planet where the focus of all timelines throughout at least the Milky Way Galaxy converged. It was found among the ruins of a large, forgotten city that stretched beyond the horizon in all directions around it. Based on initial observations, the ruins appeared to be at least one million years old. The Guardian said that it was far older than that, even exceeding the Earth's sun's age of 4.6 billion years. An inert, crudely asymmetrical, circular gateway comprised of a quasi-metallic substance, the Guardian is able to somehow display the flow of time itself although it could not alter the "speed at which it displayed the past." It generated immense ripples in time that manifested themselves as spatial disturbances in the region around the planet where it was located. Apparently sentient, it is capable of speech and interacted with anyone it encountered, responding to external stimuli such as questions and actions. The object would flash whenever it spoke and emitted a gaseous fog within its center whenever it generated a portal. Instinct: Can cause dangerous time paradox

• Provide a Time Portal
• Very lonely
• Loves to converse about the past

The Panya are an intelligent race that lives in small tribes throughout the known world. They are called Ratmen or Dogmen by humans for their animal-like features: long nose, short black ears, stubby tail, and a brown fur coat. They are, in fact, bipedal, herbivore rodents with a lazy attitude. The Panya usually live near settlements where they have sources of material to scavenge. Their scavaging have earned them a reputation of being pests at best and thieves and worst. They are typically non-violent but have been known to leave traps to force trade wagons off track in hopes of recovering materials. Instinct: To scavenge

• Collect items to use as equipment and materials
• Lay traps for trade wagons
• Nibble on leaves
