Automatons

Description
Automatons are animated metal machines, shaped like humans. They were created by the forces of Order in the War of Imbalance. These metal men were the key to winning the war. Today, the mages of Moonshade at least know how to repair a broken Automaton, but not how to create new ones. Automatons may look dangerous, but usually they can be defeated easily enough, since despite being made of metal, they are simply mass-produced cannon fodder.

They are found in Moonshade or in old Order ruins from the time of the Ophidians.

Notable Examples
There are two Automatons who deserve mention:


 * Petra, who the Avatar meets in Moonsdhade. She is the only female Automaton known, and houses the soul of the mage Elissa, who the Avatar meets when travelling to the past. She later accompanied the Avatar on the quest to restore balance.


 * Isstanar, the commander of Serpent's Fang, who had his soul transfered into a metal body as well. It is him, who gave the Avatar one of the Keyrings.
