Backstory
I was not born of stone, but of flesh and blood. I am sure I was raised by a loving family, at least I have no bad memories or ill will toward families. But I also don’t remember much of my life before stone. I was reborn. My senses awoke, hundreds of years ago now, to a world where time has no meaning. When I am hungry, I eat, when I am tired, I sleep, and when I am near the earth and its stone, I can recharge.
I did not awake alone. My brothers and sisters that were also reborn awoke with me. Together we talked about our new world. We discussed its meaning. Our reason for becoming stone. But we could not remember. Directionless, we wandered, slowly dwindling in number as we found individual meanings and tasks. Until I was alone. I did not like being alone.
Before he left, one of my brothers spoke of a realm dedicated to earth. A realm where I could find answers. I wandered the earth. I made the occasional friend and helped the odd traveler before I despaired. This realm I was searching for, this rumored “God of Earth” or “Demon of Rock,” was a myth. My brothers were scattered to the wind. I was alone.
I climbed to the highest mountain I could find and there I met an elemental earth dragon who spoke to me of the Underdark. A realm of realms. He claimed to be the Demon of Rock I was searching for. We stayed together for a time, but he was as directionless as me. He could not be what I was searching for. And so, I left him. I was alone again.
But my loneliness was purposeful this time. I will find this Underdark. And it will lead me to a purpose. A god. A home of stone and magic.
