Name: Golganneth
Age: Unknown
Race: Earthen
The Earthen are stony proto-beings similar to dwarves, only differenc is that Earthen reach the length of 6ft, created by the Titans to help shape the world. They hibernated after the Titans left the plane of Valear. They have skin of rock, do not need to breathe and can tunnel around without shovels or picks. Their beards are actually an intricate series of mineral growths. Some Earthen awoke from their hibernation finding themselfs turned into dwarves.
Physical Description:
Personality:
Stalward and proud, Golganneth is easily insulted. Being an entity from the young world takes great pride in his Earthen legacy. It greatly angers him that people forgot about his race and their deeds.
In battle Golganneth has a tradition of proving himself against mighty foes. Dragons, demons, or other ferocious creatures and then seeking out another, even mightier beast.
Golganneth has a soft spot for music and carries a lute with him whereever he goes. A fiery, brooding entity, Golganneth loves to chant tales and listening to tales of heroism and valor.
History:
Created by the ancient Titans, Golganneth was created to help the old gods to shape the world. His kind shaped mountains and canyons. Tamed the wild elementals of the earth and made the ground fertile for the races that were to come. When the world was as they seemed fit, the Titans left Valear. Leaving the Earthen to watch over the land. However something made them to withdraw in their ancient strongholds underground and sink into hibernation.
Millenia later the Earthen awoke from their slumber. Some found that they tunred into a mortal shell. Those left the Earthen cities and named themselves dwarves. The Earthen decided to stay hidden beneath the worlds crust and safeguard the titan's secrets and treasures. Golganneth was appointed as one of the Thanes. these were Earthen that made sure that the other races didn't found out the Earthen's excistence aswell as keeping the peace within their own borders.
Recently the Earthen noticed that due the magic abuse of the mortal races and constant war and struggle the earth was suffering and withering. As being the caretakes of Valear the Earthen had to warn the other races but they didn't want to make their excistance known to the outside world. If they did treasure hunters, pillagers and perhaps whole nations would come after the secrets of their masters and steal everything.
Golganneth volunteered to go alone and made a pact that he would never reveal the Earthen's society neither would he ever come back. The Earthen promised to keep his name in high honour and on the last day in his underground eutopia the Earthen raised a shrine to honour Golganneth's memory. Touched and with a broken hearth Golganneth left to seek a listening ear.
Abilities: Golganneth is a one of the few Thanes. Thanes boast prodigious combat abilities. They are ferocious in melee combat, wielding the traditional weapons of their race to decimate their foes. Their attacks leave opponents stunned and reeling. While they do not focus their efforts on discovering the secrets of the titans, they have long known of a powerful spark within every Earhte, - and Thanes draw upon this spark and fan it into a raging flame. They conjure magic hammers and axes to hurl at their targets, stunning and slowing them so they can get close enough to use their real weapons. They transform themselves into silver-sheened creatures of living iron, shrugging off all attacks and hacking through flesh and bone with frightening ease.
As an Earthen Golganneth has the abillity to shape the earth like a Geomancer. However there is a large fundamental difference between the power of an Earthen and a Geomancer. Geomancer bend the earth with spells and incantations. Earthen can bend the earth because they are the earth. To them the earth is another limb wich they can move with the power of their mind. Just as simply humans walk, Earthen create a canyon. Howver Golganneth has to have physical contact with the earth. Else it would be like the same to move a severed limb. Also Golganneth can communicate with the earth and rocks, even walls. He can ask what they are hiding, if someone is approaching even ask to create a doorway.
Create Golem: Golganneth can create a golem out of rock and imbue it with life. It only follows the orders that Golganneth gives. Aside their brute strenght golems have no special powers. They don't need to rest nor do they need food. Perfect bodyguards during the night. Golganneth can only control two at the time. To destroy a golem you need to erase the runes in its forehead.
Avater form: Being a Thane Golganneth can use the small spark of Titanic energy inside his body to shift into the Avatar Form. His stone flesh turns into flexible iron wich can endure the most viscious attacks. Magic has no effect on him. However altough magic cant directly kill him in this state the impact can still knock him back and even unconscious. When Unconscious Golganneth reverts back into his Earthen shape.
Weaknesses: Altough Golganneth is a fearsome opponent in melee, he doesn't has the ability to attack from range. Even he can shape the earth from afar this isn't fast enough to defeat an oponnent with it.
In avatar form his power and defense is greatly enhanced but this comes with the cost of movement speed. His iron flesh triples his weight and causes him to move very slow.
Golganneth has a skin of rock and wairs heavy mail/plate armor and therefore hard to damage. However this does not mean he is indestructible. It just takes longer for a sword to cut trough and an arrow just won't go trough easily. But when used enough force his protective skin won't be able to protect him.
