Arcanaton

This article contains information of uncertain canon status due to changes made in official canon clarifications and Pathfinder First Edition. Additional context might be available at Meta:Arcanaton. |
Long ago, before the Age of Darkness, in a time when powerful empires of magic ruled the land, the arcanatons were first seen on Golarion. Drawn by the confluence of magical power, these creatures are raw dweomer given tangible form.1 Powerful in their own right, when given a source of magic upon which to feed, they become nearly unstoppable.
But times change and empires fall. In the darkness that followed the Earthfall, much was lost, and as power left the world these creatures of arcane energy withered and died, deprived of the magical power that they needed for sustenance. Only a few linger still, tied to the rare relics of power that still remain from those ancient times.2[citation needed]
