Aluum Enforcer
The most common aluum is powered by the bound soul of a loyal city servant, but its creation is among the Pactmasters’ most guarded secrets. There are dozens of dormant aluums spread throughout Katapesh, and only someone wearing an aluum charm can activate and command one of these 14-foot-tall soldiers. The Pactmasters entrust few beyond the Zephyr Guard to carry these charms, and stealing such a charm is one of the most severe crimes in the city.

Aluums are powerful metal and stone constructs originally created by the Pactmasters to maintain order in Katapesh. The construction of each aluum includes the creation of an
aluum charm
, a brass pendant set with a blue crystal designed to control that particular construct. The charm constructed at the same time as an aluum is called its linked charm.
Loyal City Servants
Retired Zephyr Guards are the most common soul donors bound within an aluum’s crystalline focus, typically agreeing to it early in their career in exchange for a higher salary.
Rogue Aluums
Although members of the Zephyr Guard stop at nothing to detain and destroy rogue aluums, several such renegade spiritbound aluums remain at large.
Daemon of Dogtown
: Following the Silk Riots of 4303 AR, the Pactmasters dispatched this aluum to eliminate straggling instigators. It succeeded, but not before gaining sentience and enacting a 3-day string of murders. Although officials claim it was destroyed, the so-called Daemon of Dogtown’s body was never actually recovered, leading to rumors that it still haunts the outskirts of Katapesh.
Queen Halkuar
: Assigned to protect a gnoll emissary from the Spotted Hide pack, this aluum failed to protect its charge from assassins. Instinctively, it bound the gnoll’s soul, assumed the fabricated persona of “Queen Halkuar,” and fled into the hinterlands. The queen is said to still wander the wastes in search of additional “packmates.”
