Galaxor Stoneclaw
Race, Age, Time in the Caravan:
Stoneclaw Giant, 78, 0.3 years in the Pilgrim's Caravan.
Appearance:
Galaxor is smaller in comparison to most other Stoneclaw Giants, standing at 3 metres in height. His skin has a grey-ish, stone-like texture, and his hair is a rugged auburn. He bears tribal tattoos across his arms and chest, a mark of his clan. Galaxor's eyes are a piercing shade of grey, and he often wears rugged, grey-toned clothing adorned with furs and bone ornaments.
History:
Galaxor hails from the remote Giant's Spire, a high mountainous region. He is a member of the Stoneheart Clan, known for their affinity with mining precious gems from the depths of the Giant's Spire mountains. The Stoneclaw tribe has always lived in relative isolation, focusing on their mining operations and the protection of their mountain home. Galaxor, however, felt a deep curiosity about the world beyond the Spire. He yearned to explore the world and gather knowledge that could potentially aid the Stoneclaw tribe as they considered opening their borders to foreign traders. With the blessings of his clan, he embarked on a journey with the Pilgrim's Caravan to achieve this goal.
Personality:
Galaxor is a cheerful giant, known for his boisterous nature and kind heart. Despite his imposing size, he is jovial and friendly, often the life of the party among the caravan travelers. He has a deep connection to the earth and nature and values the sharing of stories and experiences. Galaxor's words are loud and lively, his actions adventurous, and he carries himself with a spirit of curiosity and exploration.
Motivation:
Galaxor's motivation in joining the Pilgrim's Caravan is to explore the world, experience its wonders, and learn more about its people and cultures. He wants to bring back this knowledge to his Stoneclaw tribe, which is considering opening its borders to foreign traders. Galaxor's journey is driven by a deep desire for exploration and expanding the horizons of his people, ultimately aiding them in their transition to a more open and diverse society.
Skills, Strengths and Weaknesses, and Tools:
Galaxor's giant heritage grants him immense physical strength and resilience, making him a formidable protector. He’s also a born miner and knows his stones quite well. His size and strength make him an ideal guardian in perilous situations. However, his sheer size can sometimes be a hindrance in more delicate or confined spaces. Galaxor wields no traditional tools but relies on his natural abilities and, occasionally, a massive stone-tipped club as a last resort.
What They Most Want:
To explore the world and bring back knowledge to the Stoneclaw tribe, helping them consider opening their borders to foreign traders and embracing the diversity of the outside world.

The Stone Clans -
They are giant clans which resides on the tallest mountains in the North. Each clans is made up of 6 tribes that have their own leadership. The clans are all specialized in different crafts and trades. Some are great Earth magic users. Some are miners. Some are traders.
The Clans are lead by the Giant King, a legendary being that is 20 metres tall and it's said to be older than most races. The tribes are all lead individually by tribe chieftains but all answer to one Clan Chief which is chosen from within the tribes that make up the Clan.
Q&A
1. What are the names of the six tribes within each clan, and what are their distinct specialties or crafts?
The Clans are as follows:
The Stoneclaw Clan - They are all warriors of high demand. Some join up as mercenaries while others serve as the military arm of the Clans.
The Stoneheart Clan - They're the miner of the Clans. They live deep within mountains mining different minerals or making space for other giants.
The Stonehand Clan - The Earth Magic masters of the clans.
The Stonefeet Clan - This Clan is composed of smaller giants. They're the trading arm of the Clans.
The Stonemind Clan - They are the thinkers, the inventors, the smart giants.
The Stonemouth Clan- They are the farmers, the caretakers of the Clans. Great Yao Guai sheep and Yao Guai goats are being herded, bred, milked and slaughtered for the clans.
2. How do the clans interact with one another? Are there any alliances or conflicts between specific clans?
The clans all answer to the King and his laws. If there's a dispute between tribes, the Clan leader can be petitioned to resolve the issue. If there is an issue between Clans, it'll be up to the King.
3. Tell me about the unique Earth magic abilities of some clans. What can they do with this magic?
The Stone Shapers model mountains to fit their needs. Rituals lasting decades can be done to raise new mountains or rocks can be shaped in any form they wish.
4. How do the clans obtain the resources they need, considering some are miners and traders? Do they trade with outsiders?
Everything done by the Clans is meant to be used by all clans. The traders only deal with their own unless caravans from the other races reach their lands.
5. What's the history behind the origin of the Stone Clans, and why do they live in isolation?
Ancient Conflict: Many centuries ago, the Stone Clans faced a devastating conflict with a powerful neighbouring civilization. This conflict, known as the "War of the Peaks," led to immense loss of life and resources. This combined with their size made them to be seen with suspicion and fear.
6. How do outsiders view the Stone Clans, and do they have any interactions with smaller communities?
Most nations don't know about the existence of the Stone Clans as they live far from most nations. Those that know of them, prefer to let them be than face their wrath.
