Sphynx

The SheKind built their god, the great Sphynx. Although the mythological beast hailed from Old Earth, the Sphynx as a symbol embodied prosperity and femininity for the SheKind. The giant creature was created on Sylvanus, and animated not just through robotics, but through witchery. The creature was infused with the spirits of the SheKind dead, giving it prolonged life, soft flesh, and personality through its consistent feedings of old, wizened souls. The witchery has caused the creature to become autonomous, and it roams Mars unbridled. A spotting of the lonely Sphynx in or near Sylvanus is said to be a sign that you have a touch of destiny - that the stars have aligned your path long before you were born. The Sphynx carries with her a great sword of destiny.

The SheKind believe that the unworldly Sphynx will outlive their own race, and that she watches them with providence, with the same earnest eyes and the same sad, tranquil mien she has carried since her inception. They say of her immortality, "You dare not mock at the Sphynx. We shall die, and our ways wither into nothing. And woman will strain to hold her beloved Martian soil, and will plant a firm foot on the imagined banks of the Old Earth Nile; and still that sleepless cat will lie watching in earnest the work of the newer race, with those same sad eyes and the same tranquil mien everlasting."
