Ihokhetlani

The Ihokhetlani are the first mortal sapients made by Ohannakeloi and the second species of intelligent mortals after the Kostral.
They are held together by their great and powerful souls and general soul manipulation abilities, being that their bodies are mostly stones. The Ihokhetlani are named after the first of their race Ihokhe. They stand on two legs with two arms in mimicry of common bipedal forms, in particular, the Ihokhetlani typically reach a height of about 20 feet or about six meters. Their hands have opposable thumbs and generally consist of three digits and a thumb although this more of a guideline rather than a rule. The Ihokhetlani have a singular glowing indentation on their head where their powerful souls can interact with other souls in the world, it is also this glowing orifice into their souls that allows them to see, even if not necessarily in the same way as other common mortal species.
The Ihokhetlani are 'born' or formed by the collection of stones necessary for their body into a pile and the subsequent 'calling' of a soul to be formed inside. This in part only possible by the Ihokhetlani themselves to so manipulate soul formation because of their oddly formed souls from their own creation by Ohannakeloi. They are sustained by siphoning soul ash from the background environment rather than the chemical means most other mortals depend upon, resultingly they have souls more strongly fortified against decay in addition to their significant longevity.
A sub-species of Ihokhetlani driven mad by the power of desolation are the Ihokhurs. 
Ihokhetlani can be found in many places, as they spread from their origin in Western Atokhekwoi.
