Placekeepers

Placekeepers by Stone Gargoyle

Like the Timekeepers, the Placekeepers were machine elementals which appeared to be clockwork humanoids. It is unknown if any still exist. They are said to have been unleashed at the time the universe as it now exists was created, emerging from a cosmic egg placed into the center of the universe by Cackler. In any case, their sole purpose seems to have been to create the machinery of time and the universe. They were said to have been much larger than the Timekeepers, being between 80-100 feet tall and weighing upwards of ten tons.

Minions of Cackler: Placekeepers

Legend suggests that the Placekeepers are mechanical beings created by Cackler to rebuild the previous universe following its destruction. They are, in fact, elementals native to his home realm of Kh'ron, mechanical elementals appearing as clockwork humanoid machines. They are enormous machines which are basically builders.
