Hearthwane · stone guardian, 900
An Ysmeri woman named Ninth Rain asked it to keep the seal shut until she came back.

raised by the Ysmeri when the temple was built
HOW THEY LOOK
Twice a man's height, granite with moss in the joints. Its eyes are two lamps that never quite go out.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS
“What walks on the stair and lies? Speak, and I will know.”
“You say your heart is in your mouth. Then close it.”

An Ysmeri woman named Ninth Rain asked it to keep the seal shut until she came back. She never came back.
300 years ago · the temple stair
Crushed a knight who swore he came in peace while his men waited on the stair. It has trusted oaths less ever since.
60 years ago · the seal chamber
Slept for forty years when the lamps on the stair went dark, and woke to find the goblins living in its shadow.
a year ago · the stone ring
Felt the Sunstone leave its socket and woke with a sound like a rockslide. It has not slept since.
