"We all know of Dwarves who fell so deep in love with their craft, or the seeking of treasure or ale, that they forgot how to live in any other way but in pursuit of it. That's what Stone Giants do."
-Elminster
Stone Giants--reclusive, reflective, and inscrutable--take pains to remain apart from the world of sunlight and sky. Only when they're surrounded by stone do they consider themselves to be in reality. A world of all-encompassing stone is a realm of permanence and solidity, one where a lifetime of laborious carving can last through countless eons. The surface world, with its shifting light, endless sky, changing climate, and eroding wind represents a dream state: an unreality where nothing lasts and therefore nothing has significance.
Physical Description and Abilities
Their granite-gray skin, gaunt features, and black, sunken eyes endow Stone Giants with a stern countenance.
Habitat
Secluded caves are the homes of the Stone Giants. Cavern networks are their towns, rocky tunnels their roads, and underground streams their waterways. Isolated mountain ranges are their continents, with the vast spans of land between seen as oceans that the Stone Giants only rarely cross.
