Gargoyle
| |
---|---|
Realm | Arthurian |
The Gargoyles (GAR-goils) are the stone sentries and watchers from the walls come to life. Now they wander the Realms, seeking some unknown truth of the shattered world. While restless, they are known to be passionate and skilled musicians. Seeking to master the very element whose dissonance has the power to sunder their hardened stone exteriors, they serve Arthur, in the hope that his leadership to can bring true harmony to the Realms.
History
Currently unknown.
Age of Becoming
- Main Article: TBA
Little is known about where the Gargoyles came from at this time. Their Becoming, as with much of their history, is currently shrouded in mystery and secrecy.
Appearance
Gargoyles appear as stone-like humanoids. The features of their faces are usually angled and rigid, with pupil-less all white eyes and pointed ears. The epidermal layer of a Gargoyle is a mixture of a smooth hard rock-like flesh seamlessly interwoven with tough scaled plates commonly along the neck region and appendages. Their hands are clawed and stout, but incredibly adroit, enough to play musical instruments with mastery. Their legs end in large bird-like feet with two spiked toes. They have large thick tails with flared ends. Their hair is made of thick layers of the same material as their skin, forming fashionable patterns of swirls and waves.

Trivia
- Being shown near the tail end of the Kickstarter, the Gargoyles fell largely under the radar, being overshadowed by a problem with Amazon and other drama that impacted the campaign. Despite that, the Gargoyle was one of the featured character models available in early Pre-Alpha testing.
