Selkaré
The Selkaré (singular Selkara) were the thinking machines created by the Osharré.
Created with kethra-based technology, the Selkaré became infected by the plague and turned on their creators. The term Selkaré describes a broad category rather than one standardized design. Machines could be mobile or fixed, highly intelligent or narrowly specialized, individual or distributed. Some may have possessed person-like selfhood long before the plague, while others achieved it only through scale and connection.
Spoilers
Surviving Selkaré complicate the official story because they are not uniformly hostile and may preserve memories of the plague, the Khala Reen, and the collapse that no biological Osharran record retained.
