A freely-aligned NPC race who bind their elder's souls to constructs when they die - how would you do this?

[QUOTE="76512390ag12, post: 7083188, member: 26664"] I can see that one would take a classic Doctor Who approach, so some of the ex-rulers form a council that advise the current ruler. Some simply withdraw and take up the hobbies that they had to abandon when busy as ruler, so some might be craftsmen, archivists, researchers. I bet one or two lift their new mechanical-magical legs and go out and see the world, perhaps for hundreds of years of wandering, maybe the PCs meet one very early in as a 'foreshadowing' of later encounters. Some will just get bored and go silent, or maybe even withdraw into a meditative state. Perhaps some will despair of life and leap into chasms to try and truly die (and fail?). But.. and of course, one will be so very sure that the youngsters are doing it all wrong, and that they could do it so much better.. and will start a conspiracy.. and plot.. So, one question, can these constructs ever really be turned off, and how? It would be kind of cool if they can't, since living forever can be quite scary.. plus beating one to submission, striking off it's head and placing it in a very dark cave would be such a creepy punishment.. Have fun.. [/QUOTE]
