[QUOTE="_Michael_, post: 9521180, member: 7045276"] That might work, with the corrupted lithosyne acting as the sentience. The Protea completely subjugated Aeos, and the humans on the planet were rounded up to use as slave labor and breeding stock to allow the Protea to turn their attention to Erdeyn. The two planets cross through the Veil once a year, which is an asteroid belt, and the Protea will hide seed ships in the Veil to attempt to crash-land them on Erdeyn to form cysts similar to issues 258 and 270 of Dragon magazine, which is where I got the idea. It is only because of the efforts of the High Council and their Red Legion that such cysts do not succeed and are stamped out. Most times, the Protea are so damaged from the landing that they can do little damage before being destroyed by locals who superstitiously think they're demons or some other fell creature. Lithosynes by themselves, however, are probably of a neutral alignment, but being subjected to imprisonment in a Protean machine against their will probably opens them up to anger and evil, which would be a soft explanation of why the contamination of the evil god obliterated during the Schism is able to poison them.
