Difference between revisions of "Sphinx landmark"

The '''Sphinx Landmark''' was formed from a large deposit of matter from the fallen star [[Ethian]] that had landed within the [[Mhojave Desert]]. Taking the shape of a crystalline megalith with the body of a lion and the head of a human, the Sphinx was unique even among the enigmatic [[landmarks]]. The Sphinx was sentient and remained aloof throughout most of the year, but became interested in small slips of paper bearing riddles during the time of [[Ethian's Crossing]]. Adventures found they could influence the beast's alignment when it deigned to pay attention to them because of the notes. The tinge the beast's crystal body took determined it's attunement; when it was red, it was known as the Ruby Sphinx and generated [[Essence]] for [[Necromancy]], when it was blue, the Sapphire Sphinx would generate [[Devotion]] for [[Spirituality]]. Another odd note about the Sphinx, its behavior suggested it disliked the conversion required to change aspects, lashing out at those who would say ruby to it while it was in the Sapphire aspect and those who would say sapphire in its Ruby aspect.
