'''Cherubim''' are a group of powerful tier 8 creatures that can be found roaming Qud, as well as guarding the reliquaries to their respective [[sultan]]s. One cherubim type corresponds to each [[faction]], and the sultans who are allied with such during their time of reign will have their reliquaries guarded by them in the [[Tomb of the Eaters]].
}}
'''Cherubim''' are a class of powerful tier 8 creatures that can be found roaming Qud, as well as guarding the tombs and reliquaries of the [[sultan]]s. There is a variety of cherubim to represent each of the [[Factions that existed during the time of the sultanate|old sultanate-era factions]].


They are normally docile, including when they are found roaming around. However, they will become hostile when provoked or if their sultan's possessions are stolen if they are currently guards. If they are guards, they will also be hostile if the creature does not have the [[Mark of Death]].
In the {{favilink|Tomb of the Eaters}}, each sultan's tomb is guarded by several cherubim of the factions with whom the sultan had favorable relations during their lifetime. Typically, these factions came to be favored by each sultan by playing an important role in their [[sultan histories]]. The cherubim stand watch over the sultan's {{favilink|imperial sarcophagus|sarcophagus}} and {{favilink|sultan reliquary|reliquary}}. These cherubim will typically be neutral to the player so long as the player character bears the [[Mark of Death]] and does not attack them or attempt to disturb the sultan's possessions. Each cherub gains additional abilities based on their aligned sultan's [[sultan theme|themes]], as noted below.
 
Cherubim who are not generated as tomb guards in the Tomb of the Eaters inherit their faction membership from their parent blueprint in <code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code>, meaning that many cherubim are members of the [[Beasts]] or [[Humanoids]] factions and thus will be hostile to the player.
 
All non-mechanical cherubim have the ability to reheat themselves by 60 degrees per turn if they are ever [[frozen]], and have a 100% chance to reflect projectiles. This reflection is vulnerable to [[EMP]] blasts.


The additional abilities they gain are related to the sultan's theme. All non-mechanical cherubim have the ability to reheat themselves by 60 degrees if they are ever [[frozen]], and have a 100% chance to reflect projectiles.

If the sultan that the cherubim are related to is from the 4th period or later, they will be Mechanical instead. They have slightly different stats than normal cherubim. Mechanical cherubim also will attempt to heat themselves up and reflect projectiles, but they are decreased to 50T and 50% respectively.
