**Vantashae Constructs** are a form of synthetic entities built by the ancient and enigmatic Vantashae, a magic-based alien civilization that come from beyond the world that hosts Rathnir and Eldham (henceforth refered to as Celeia), and that served as much of their manpower. Most of the Construct presence can be found within Vantashae structures spread throughout the cosmos, although, in Celeia, they are mostly found dwelling in VyrTiculem and it's subordinate complexes.

## Construction

The Constructs can be divided into two major components, the Intelligence Core, amethyst crystals which hold a Construct's mind (and could be argued as being the Constructs themselves), and a Shell, made out of copper, stone and other amethyst crystals called Function Cores. Due to this, a same Construct can inhabit multiple bodyplans throughout their existance, depending on the needs of the Vantashae or Central Intelligence that they are currently working under.

Due to the decentralized nature of the Vantashae Steltara, the specifications of Construct Shells vary from project to project, with only Shells made for Constructs serving in Vantashae Starsails following strict and defined design standards needed to operate the Vantashae Navy. This has also led to an eclectic collection of different Construct designs which are further specified using the name of the projects, worlds and regions in which they serve. Apart from this, decorative parts are uncommonly used, so the copper and the various kinds of stone used in their construction are normally exposed.

### Cores

Cores, as stated previously, are amethyst crystals imbued with a set of magic spells that allow for the creation of a mind, not unakin of that of a Warforged or of a sapient Golem, albeit with a different process entirely. Using a mix of alchemical spells to shape the inside of the crystal into Memory, Information and Function Points and lensing magic through them, an Intelligence Core is able to store, process and utilize information, creating what is, in essence, a sapient mind.

### Shells

Shells are essentially bodies of copper and stone, embeded with Function Cores, amethyst cores that have been alchemically programmed to utilize certains spells that can range from allowing a Construct to see, hear or even cast spells of their own. The copper serves as a means to recieve information in the form of message spells and, due to copper's innate magical affinity and maleability, allows the Construct to be moved using magic pulses, akin to the muscles of organic life forms.

The stone used in the Shells of Constructs vary from the available minerals in the location the Constructs are built to their function, with Constructs built for combat using harder types of stone, sometimes even using Obsidian, as a basis for their forms.

## Construct Subgroups

This is a list of known Construct Subgroups, some are built by the Vantashae, others by their Client States and some are even constructed from salvaged parts found in abandoned worlds.

### VyrTiculem Constructs

VyrTiculem Constructs (also known as Rathniri Contructs or Celeian Constructs) are utilitarian designs built by the Vantashae agent Mulos and programmed by the Vantashae axoneer Jevenne Ley. They are found within the VyrTiculem Complex and it's subordinate complexes. They serve the VyrTiculem Intelligence, maintaining the complex and making sure the designs planned for it by the Vantashae come to fruition.

#### Wilderness Spirit Constructs

In the ranks of the VyrTiculem Contructs, there are 5 special Constructs, known as Wilderness Spirit Contructs, that deviate from the design norm and aren't entirely networked to VyrTiculem's Lattice. They are spread throughout Celeia, exploring it and contacting many different local groups.

### Tlovir Constructs

Tlovir Constructs (also known as Stlelverite Constructs) are Constructs built by the Tlovir Stlelver, a branch of the Moonfolk people that, by sheer luck and happenstance, happened to be transported outside of Celeia's Star System, forging a small stellar dominion for themselves. Tlovir Constructs sctrictly follow the Steltara design standard, even when built for in-world function, making them brittle for combat operations, but extremely effective in utility functions.
