Iteru (pronounced Ih-tare-oo) was a sphinx that lived in the desert surrounding Khapesh. Ancient legends, dating back to the early Age of Expansion, tell of Iteru's wisdom and beneficial guidance of the Khapeshan monarchs. Seeking to ensure future rulers would continue to have a source of insight with a long perspective on time, she created the first scarab warden - a faithful servant of Khapesh imbued with the power of stone. The organization of these she helped found, the Stoics of Iteru, eventually adopted her name after she was slain.
Iteru's mausoleum is located in the city of Hewa. Though the city has long since left Khapeshan control, many Stoics continue to make regular pilgrimages to visit the tomb. The mausoleum rivals those of some past Khapeshan monarchs in size and grandeur, and some in the city have taken to treating Iteru as almost a minor divinity, albeit one who is deceased.
