Homebrew Stonefolk Species Details
When I first in encountered these mountainous people I was sure that would be dead. But after a nice song and merrymaking I found their company warm and welcoming. Don't listen to all the tales, these people are good folk, if not intimidating at first glance.

Stone Skin But Soft Heart
Stonefolk have a reputation of being cold hardened juggernauts. They are fabled to be as cold hearted as stone itself. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. Stonefolk are a caring people whom look after their own and protect those they see as defenseless. That's not to say they aren't are a juggernaut, as anyone whom has ever gotten on the opposite side of a stonefolk's protection would see just how cold they can become.
Built Like A Mountain
Stonefolk have strong and sturdy builds, with skin shades that range from black, brown, gray, or white. Atop their heads sets a stony crest that grows more pronounced as they advance in age. The stonefolk don't have hair, but their stony protrusions along their heads sprout and grow in such a way as to look a mountainous mane. Their eyes look the same as any human, but their eye color ranges mimic that of precious stones and gems. While stonefolk are medium they have heights closer to that of a goliath. Physically stonefolk look primarily human but, have thicker forearms and hands that give them an intimidating silhouette. Their voices are booming and giant like and their cold faces betray any expression of emotions. When it comes to things like clothing and accessories stonefolk prefer a more earthy look, rather than manufactured fashions. They have an eye for craftsmanship and a natural gift at moving raw earth. When it comes to sculpture there are few that can match the natural talent that stonefolk have.
Life With The Outside
Stonefolk have no strong feelings one way or the other when it comes to interacting with different people. To them if you respect their customs and carry your own weight then they will treat you with respect in kind. There are small offshoot tribes that act outwardly hostile to outsiders, but that usually in response to them being seen as a prize fight or sport. While most stonefolk live with tribe, there are some that venture out to strike their own claim in the world. Most stonefolk that set out for adventure are younger and usually windup moving back to their tribe after the excitement wears thin. While very rare there are stonefolk that even find love whilst out on adventure, and their spouses are met with the same amount of care and hearth as their own kin.
