Do the Guardinals have a "spawning" thingy?

You know the Slaadi have their Spawning Stone,
the Yugoloths have their Heart of Darkness,
and the Modrons have their Infininty Pool.

Each true-aligned race has an artifact or piece of architecture on their home plane that is intimately entwined with their form and their racial origin.

Do the Guardinals of Elysium have a similar thingy linked to their origin?

And if not, shouldn't they? If only for symmetry's sake...

It's suggested (in Planes of Conflict) that the realm of Principality in Amoria somehow empowers the guardinal Five Companions.

They did, but the gods took/were granted/stole it to create the aasimon. The gods tried to do the same in the lower planes, but we can all see how well that turned out (cough:Khin-Oin:cough)

I always liked the idea that the first yugoloths weren't born or created at or under Khin-Oin, but rather in it. They ate their way out of the corpse of a dead/paralyzed Baernaloth that had been bound by its brethren and implanted with the seeds and essence of the first 'loths who then hatched within and burrowed their way out. Sort of like how some wasps will lay eggs in the bodies of other insects, and the children eat their way out when they hatch as larval forms. That the 'loths might have devoured the body of one of their creators in the process of being born has a nice ring for me.

Not to mention being very creepy and thus going well with Baernoloths in general. :D
