Stoneborn

Fate was distraught over his incapability to bring Adam, his beloved first son, back from death so many times before took up his favored son’s body and wandered the world leaving his betrothed Isabella the goddess of death alone. Isabella saddened by Fates absence began to cry. Eventually her tears began to batter down on the rock where her children lived and formed pure pools of life on rocky surfaces. Eventually her tears which contained the Essence of life began to seep into these very same rocks and in turn granted once inanimate objects life.

When they were young, they were in constant bouts with strange beasts and creatures for survival, though when one of their brothers fell another one would rise after some time from the earth to take their place. Eventually after time they began to realize the importance of sticking together and began to congregate in large groups around pools of the Tears they found. These groups were named ponds, and in turn the creation of these spawned an elder system of guidance to take in and help the new kin when they would rise.

Stoneborn are what their names suggest: Born of Stone. They are walking rock amongst the world filled with Tears of Living Essence that simulate life and personality into them. They are tough nuts to crack, but despite this they are among the wisest of the world, preferring to think things out instead of acting rashly. Though, do not discount the rage or strength of a Stoneborn; they can be fierce and great fighters when the time arises. In appearance they vary greatly, always being formed of differing types of sediment that were touched by Isabella's sadness, from slate to granite, onyx to anthracite. Typically they have no style of dress particular to themselves; generally they just adopt the clothing of the cultures to which they are exposed.

Stoneborn are immortal creatures. They only truely die when killed and thier essence is absorbed back into Panthes.
