Oracle Ardentis
Description
Oracle Ardentis is an Odari shardforged construct of indeterminant age.
Oracle Ardentis stands at 7'2", angular and skeletal, with an unsettling mechanical grace. Its blackened metal shell reveals a web of exposed mechanics, while dark purple energy pulses through crystal veins emanating from a massive core in its chest. Articulated arms and legs move with sharp, mechanical precision, and its hands end in claw-like fingers tipped with steel.
Mechanical wings sprout from its spine, glowing with energy, resembling a fusion of angel and machine. Ardentis moves with an unnatural fluidity, each step calculated, giving it a shadow-like presence. Its interactions feel almost intangible, as if the energy around it bends to its will.
In conversation, Oracle Ardentis commands attention, using its dark charisma to intimidate or entice. Its looming wings serve as a reminder of the eerie forces at play within its being, beyond just flesh and metal.
