The Yakshaka were the most well known of the Thaumaturg creations, and the backbone of their army. Inspired from insights gained by the Moranth, the yakshaka were giant soldiers, their exotic armour made from small mosaic stones ranging in colour from dark sea-blue-green to pale yellow-olive. Their helms, which completely covered their faces, and their gauntlets were made of the same material. Each carried a yataghan, a curved sword of worked bronze with a flared tip, in a wooden sheath clasped to their waists.

  • The Yakshaka were the most well known of the Thaumaturg creations, and the backbone of their army. Inspired from insights gained by the Moranth, the yakshaka were giant soldiers, their exotic armour made from small mosaic stones ranging in colour from dark sea-blue-green to pale yellow-olive. Their helms, which completely covered their faces, and their gauntlets were made of the same material. Each carried a yataghan, a curved sword of worked bronze with a flared tip, in a wooden sheath clasped to their waists. Within each yakshaka was a native of Jacuruku selected in regular culls of the countryside. The yakshaka were often described as statue-like as alchemies and magic turned them into stone while removing their individual free will. They were capable of remaining unmoving, quietly in place, for as long as required. Their first priority was to guard the Thaumaturg mages and they were often used as bodyguards. In battle yakshaka fought unflinchingly without sound, even when injured. When cut, they bled "black blood as thick as tar."
