Gargoyles, Grotesques, Guardians, these beings<br />
(stone carvings) have gone by many names<br />
throughout the years. Carved from the very<br />
stone the Mountain Dwarves called home, the<br />
Gargoyles were created as sentries to guard<br />
against the scourge <strong>of</strong> Maliask. No one knows<br />
when or how, but a few <strong>of</strong> these constructs<br />
gained sentience and took on a life <strong>of</strong> their<br />
own. Now they travel out from the mountains<br />
searching for their own purpose no longer bound<br />
to the caverns.<br />
There is much that is still unknown <strong>of</strong> these<br />
creatures. Some as wise as their weathered faces<br />
bely some as naïve as the day they were carved.<br />
The scholarly arts do not come easily to this race<br />
as they prefer the art <strong>of</strong> combat. Being made <strong>of</strong><br />
solid stone, Gargoyles are a slow moving, but<br />
determined lot who are scared <strong>of</strong> nothing.<br />
The Gargoyles have no real society to speak <strong>of</strong>,<br />
nor racial preconceptions as their personalities<br />
seem to be influenced by their sculptor. They<br />
are known to be fiercely protective and loyal to a<br />
fault, <strong>of</strong>ten fighting till their last breath to<br />
protect their charges. It is for this reason that it<br />
is rumored that Maliask left the Mountain<br />
Dwarves to hide in their caves, not wanting to<br />
disturb the Gargoyles repose.<br />
Gargoyle<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> the races <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fenorra</strong> are still unsure <strong>of</strong><br />
exactly how to coexists with the Gargoyles in<br />
their midst. Some find it unnerving, while<br />
others take it in stride and are happy to have<br />
such a competent fighter beside them. To see a<br />
Gargoyle walking around <strong>Fenorra</strong> still causes<br />
young children to stop and stare, whispering to<br />
their mothers that the stories are true. The<br />
elderly see it as a dark omen that <strong>Fenorra</strong>’s need<br />
must be dire for these Guardians to have left the<br />
confines <strong>of</strong> their mountain caves and travel<br />
freely over ground.<br />
