Deep beneath the mountains’ crust, the Stoneborn Clans carve vast citadels of living rock, where echoing forges and gem-lit halls honor the primal bond between earth and craft. Stoneworkers shape adamantine pillars and inlaid mosaics with time-worn mastery, while miners tunnel through crystal veins in search of mithral and soul-stones. Clan elders trace their lineages by the glyphs etched in cavern walls, and every pillar raised or gem unearthed is celebrated with age-old rites to the Earth Mother. In these subterranean realms, the steady heartbeat of hammer on anvil and the whisper of shifting stone are both home and hymn to those who claim the depths as their own.
Cities and Settlements: Stoneborn Clans build their cities deep within mountains or underground caverns, carving grand halls and intricate passageways into the very stone. These settlements are highly fortified and self-sufficient, with a focus on mining, crafting, and trade in gemstones and metals. Their architecture reflects their mastery over stonework, with vast halls supported by towering pillars and adorned with intricate carvings. Social structures are clan-based, with leadership passed down through ancient family lines. Rituals honoring the earth and stone are central to their culture.
