Scaenchai

The Scaenchai (Forged-Guard) were a legion of soldiers augmented by the same process applied to scaentaphs and scaentecs, wherein most of their humanity was stripped both psychologically and physically. Except for high priority missions, the Scaenchai were deployed in the Royal Palace of Erwood as part of the Imperial Silence - a host of guardsmen who answered only to the Primonarch and remained statues in their post for entire days at a time.

Creation of the Scaenchai
The creation of such beings was limited to the years of Sengra's life, as only she had the ability to make them function. Volunteers, or victims of severe mutilation caused mainly by workplace accidents and warfare, were given a second chance by being reconstructed with bionic body parts and general sensory enhancements. The only way these subjects could survive the process, however, was through Sengra's blessing. Technology was not yet advanced enough to rely on medicine and conventional techniques alone, and required the use of innamactic powers; Sengra was the only known being to harness a life-giving innamactic power, and she could use it to channel the subjects' phantom pains into real, tangible feelings. An amputee, for instance, would receive a bionic limb and be blessed to use it as if it were their original appendage, simply through the manifestation of their muscle memory. This process allowed the Scaenchai to function almost as well as their unaltered counterparts.
