They prefer to enter into contracts to guard valuable treasures and important locations. They always do exactly as asked—never any more

Kindori communicate with one another over long distances

A kindori is large enough to have its own gravity plane and air envelope, enabling smaller

                                                     only to protect woodlands and the people who tend them. A wood woad’s face is void and expressionless, except for the motes of light that swim about in its eye sockets. Wood woads speak little

The site a wood woad guards might lose its power or significance over time, or those whom it was assigned to guard
