-The '''Sphinx''' was a foreseer which reigned over [[Thule]] until it was overthrown and killed by the [[Gallifreyan]] Hero [[Prydonius]], who took its [[head]] back to [[Gallifrey]]. A few years later, the 508th [[Pythia]] had its [[eye]] stolen so she could use it to locate [[Vael]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible]]'')
+The '''Sphinx''' was an ancient and terrible marauder which reigned over [[Thule]], forcing its subjects to worship it. It was the most powerful [[oracle|augurer]] in the nine corners of the Universe, and it was infamous for speaking in [[riddle]]s. It had a [[feline]], [[woman|feminine]] form.
+Ultimately, it was overthrown and killed by the [[Gallifreyan]] Hero [[Prydonius]], who took its temprogenically-preserved [[head]] back to [[Gallifrey]] for study at the [[Academia Library]]. When [[Vael]] saw it from the crowd, its glittering [[amber]] eye spoke to him in riddles. He continued to see its eye in his head, sometimes taking the form of the eyes of [[Pythia]] or [[Loie]], or the shape of [[Pazithi Gallifreya]].
+Seeking the Sphinx's psychic powers, the [[508th Pythia]] had its eye stolen so she could use it to speak with Vael. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible]]'')
