Gargoyle: Stone That Watches Still
Ancient and unmoving, Gargoyles are the silent sentinels of forgotten spires, ruined halls, and sacred places lost to time. Born of stone and bound by purpose, they are creatures of patience and presence—guardians who do not eat, sleep, or speak unless there is need. Some awaken only when the land cries out, others walk the world in search of a new place to protect. But all are shaped by one truth: they endure.
Their voices are like the grind of deep earth, seldom heard but always heavy with meaning. Time means little to them. They have watched kingdoms fall and forests regrow, unmoved. Whether winged or grounded, roaming or rooted, Gargoyles carry ancient memory in every fracture of their form. They are not born of flesh, but of purpose—and that purpose never fades.

The silence that followed was not empty—it listened.
They do not rest. They do not forget. And when they rise, it is never without cause.
