Moghu

Tengui are sentinels created by the shouzu to watch over the Nine Kingdoms. They are a race of humanoid tiger-like creatures made of grey stone. They, like many sentinels, are imbued with a sliver of their creator's power. They have an uncanny mastery of the arcane, as well as unrivaled knowledge on the discipline of fleshshaping. Tengui also renowned for their golemancy.

Overview
The tengui's original purpose was the guiding of the Nine Kingdoms in the Immortal's absence. For nearly a century the Tengui ruled over the Nine Kingdoms as benevolent watchers. However, it wasn't long before the Black Order discovered them. Rather than risk a frontal assault, of nine heavily fortified worlds, the Order instead dispatched a dreadlord by the name of Mal'cezzar, Lord of Hatred.

Mal'cezzar's objective was to twist the tengui up into bickering feuds. As sentinels, the concept of jealousy, hatred, and other negative emotions was unheard of to the tengui. The dreadlord reintroduced these ideals to the Tengui via the Curse of Hatred, a magical curse of his own design. Now mortal, the Tengui were subject to negative emotions, which were then spurned on towards greater heights by Mal'cezzar.

Cursed with mortality the Tengui were no longer titanic creations, but rather something more akin to demons. However, something strange happened. The Tengui did not possess any innate connection to the Prismatic Dark, and thus were unconcerned with the politics of demonkind. Rather than joining the Black Order as the Lord of Hatred had hoped, the tengui simply killed Mal'cezzar; sending him back to the Prismatic Dark.

Masters of their own fate, the tengui used their powerful blessings, increased size and strength, and other benefits to conquer not only one another, but also the Nine Kingdoms. They formed a mighty empire known as the Tengui Dominion. At its top sits Emperor Vo Lang, king of kings.

Physiology
Like all Firstborn, the tengui were once a race of stone creatures shaped from titanstone, but lacked the soul that distinguished the later stonebloods.
