Homebrew Gemanoid Species Details
With the dead of Sardior, the gem dragons were created, but also, Sardior had to transform to not die in all planes of reality. When Sardior transformed, he looked like a half-elf made with gems, specially ruby. When he "reincarnated", he started creating more gem humanoids so that he could be considered a god again and not be trapped in the earth plane, their creations were similar to gem dragons, but instead that they were like humans with the body recovered with gems.
These creatures started learning common and creating their own language called, gemmon, this one made of not very long words.
Now, there are still not very abundant in the world

Age
Gemanoids live up to 445 years, they consider themselves mature when they are 16 or 18. They grow normal, but they only become old adults and old at the age of 400, when they have 10 years left of their life (dying for being old), they start growing stone in their face.
Whenever they die, no matter from what, they reconstruct themselves to form a piece of stone with their body in it, the body is made with their gemstone. If the gemanoid is revived, the stone breaks and his flesh returns, it ages 50 years less if he died of oldness.
