Homebrew Ancient Species Details

Ancients originate from a long forgotten kingdom, made to be servants of the king. They are artificial souls made of magic, locked into a crude humanoid figure of natural materials. In the center of their head, an orb of concentrated magic rests, acting as a phylactery for them, using its magic to protect its physical form. Ancients are unable to prevent this, and thus it weakens the phylactery inside of them.
