MOUNTAINBORN

As Maigozi pranced confidently within a circle, his chest was outstretched, puffed up with stricken pride. He held his Morningstar with such confidence, he looked as if he was a divine being, his pride practically radiating off of him. “Well, it seems clearly that thine former appetite for some tremendous fighting hast been lost, eh? Ah, tis’ what I have been expecting, a lowly human left to waste in the sun-basked dust,” he boastfully taunted, pointing to the weak human’s weakness.

CREATED EARTHEN BEING

---

 

Mountainborns are not creatures, and neither are they entities. Instead, they are primordial-elemental beings created through rituals performed at The Seven Heavens of Mount Celestia by the Devas. Mountainborns come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and different types of rock. The physical features of these elementals show their ancestry, although not produced through regular reproduction, they are created by former rocks that have eroded and fused together through the rituals upon Mount Celestia. They are a unique race, and not many are formed nor found; although most commonly seen in high mountains, they are extremely difficult to find out in the open, even in the publicity of the largest cities. Not much is known about their calling or way of life, and most that are found in the cities were most commonly abandoned by their clan, and if it’s not that, it is usually the strangest reasons of monstrosities. They are not shown to be social outside their race nor clan, so talking to one of them will most likely be extremely awkward and you won't get much out of them.

ORIGIN OF CREATION

Many years ago, these huge beings, known as Oanukhrthmoann, once stood tall, and were commonly seen, their strength was unmatched to any creature that was alive at the time. When the mountainborn deity known as Rhaftmanschu ascended, he tried to make these beings more powerful, but he was unsuccessful. So, to solve this, he entered into the darkest realms itself, to find a strength to these primordials. He entered into the realm of Hades, and spoke to Nuitari, and performed a ritual for the strengthening of the mountainborn, however, it went completely rouge. Instead of what was expected, all mountainborns were completely destroyed, and became mountain ranges, which made them completely indestructible. So, for centuries, Rhaftmanschu rested waiting for the correct time for the mountains to arise once more, and then one day the time had come. He arose upon Mount Celestia in his old age, he knew his time was about to fall, and so he commanded the devas to perform a ritual to the mountains, with his soul as their energy. And so, they did, Rhaftmanschu ceased into an energy form, and used the rest of his power to create the new mountainborn. As this occurred the mountains shook, and the earth rumbled, but instead of the beastly mountains arising, only small rocks and boulders arose, and the mountains were left quiet, and so the new primordials arose.

Age

Languages

Languages: You can speak, read, and write in Common and Primordial. Primordial sounds and looks like a strange dialect of dwarvish, some words and phrases can be understood across both languages, however, beings that know dwarvish but not primordial cannot speak to primordials in full sentences.

Subraces

Subraces: There are three main types of Mountainborn, known as; Halfgor, Zórdfiend, and Mirrnirr-Oanukhrthmoann. These three subraces were created at the point of creation of the first Mountainborn ritual on Mount Celestia, although all three do share some relation, they are not the same, with their own distinct features.
