Sphinxes and archons are the rare nonhumanoids that play a significant role in the leadership and operation of the guild. Azorius lawmages craft one-eyed homunculi to perform menial tasks in Azorius buildings. These homunculi use the statistics of a regular homunculus except that they are wingless and have no flying speed. Sphinxes of Judgment Azorius sphinxes, known as sphinxes of judgment, wield hieromancy-the power of law magic-with the force of a judge's gavel to imprison criminals and compel truth from them.
