Inevitables
One of the newer Planar races, the Inevitables (introduced in the Manual of Planes, Third Edition) are a race of mechanical constructs who enforce the laws of the universe. Maruts were introduced in 2nd edition, and Inevitables as a group were introduced in 3rd edition Monster Manual. As of November 2008, they have not been covered in 4th edition. They cohabit Mechanus with modrons and formians, though the former have largely been phased out of third-edition Dungeons & Dragons materials. There are six ranks of inevitable, each responsible for a given universal law:
- Andryhut - Responsible for protecting the natural expansion of deserts (Sandstorm)
- Kolyarut — Responsible for punishing oathbreakers
- Marut — Seek out those who would cheat death
- Quarut — Maintain the sanctity and inviolability of time (Fiend Folio)
- Varakhut — Responsible for the protection of divine entities from mortal meddling (Fiend Folio)
- Zelekhut — Charged with tracking down those who would escape just punishment
