Earthmother

The Earthmother is an ethereal being of immense size, with a body composed of living crystal that seems to pulse with the heartbeat of the very earth. Her form is reminiscent of a female human, yet her skin is a vibrant mosaic of sapphires, emeralds, and topaz, each gem glinting with the light of a thousand suns. Her hair flows like a river of liquid crystal, and her eyes are pools of molten gold filled with ancient wisdom. Her hands are adorned with rings of precious metals that intertwine with the veins of crystal running through her fingers, and her feet are planted firmly on the ground, roots of crystal extending into the very core of the mountain. Her presence is so grand that she seems to fill any cavern she graces with an aura of warmth and vitality. Her voice resonates like the echo of a thousand whispering winds, soothing and powerful.
The Earthmother is a nurturing, patient, and wise entity, her consciousness intertwined with the very fabric of the mountain. She is fiercely protective of the miners and the creatures that dwell within the Spine, often acting as an mediator between the two when conflicts arise. Her temperament is as steadfast as the bedrock, but when riled, she can unleash the fury of the earth itself. Despite her power, she is not quick to anger, preferring to guide her children through words of wisdom and gentle nudges rather than overt displays of strength. The Earthmother is deeply empathetic, feeling the pain and joy of those who walk her hallowed halls as if it were her own. Her laughter is said to cause crystals to form in midair, and her tears are believed to be the source of the most precious gems. Her patience is endless, but when the balance of her realm is threatened, she becomes a formidable adversary. Her whispers in the dark are a constant companion to the miners, a reminder of the sacred trust they hold in her care.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The Earthmother is a divine avatar born from the collective belief and reverence of the Sapphire Miners' Guild. For centuries, these hardy folk have toiled in the depths of the Dragonbone Spine, extracting the gleaming blue sapphires that give the range its name. Their faith in the sanctity of their work and the protection of the earth itself coalesced into a single, powerful being who embodies the spirit of the mountain. She watches over the miners, guiding their picks and shovels to the richest veins, ensuring their safety from the perils of the deep, and offering solace to those who have lost their way in the labyrinthine tunnels. The Earthmother is not just a deity to the miners; she is the very essence of the mountain, the guardian of its secrets, and the embodiment of the unbreakable bond between the people and the land they call home. Her existence is tied to the balance of the ecosystem within the mountain, and any harm to the crystalline caverns is felt by her as a personal affront.
