Stoneheart Colossus

"The mountain is not a grave — it is a throne, and its king has yet to wake." — High Seer Rhundar of the Cragshield Clans

 

General Information

Type: Elemental Titan / Ancient Construct
Location: Subterranean chamber beneath the Rodiac Highlands
Height: Estimated 300+ ft when upright
Status: Dormant (for now)  

Origin and Lore

Forged during the final days of the Eclipse Epoch, the Stoneheart Colossus is a legendary earthbound guardian built by the Cragshield Clans and empowered by the god Inavi. It was intended as the final defense against the Voidbane, The Neverending Hunger — a living fortress of stone, rune, and divine will. However, it was never awakened.  

Physical Structure

• Carved directly into the mountain’s core, fused with leyline conduits

• Composed of enchanted obsidian, rune-infused mithral, and living rock

• Holds a Stoneheart Core — a divine relic containing a fragment of Inavi’s essence

• Eyes remain sealed, but pulse faintly during celestial alignments

   

Current Status

The Colossus lies dormant, entombed within a sealed vault known as the Throne of the Still Earth. Only the highest ranking Forge-Priests know its exact location. Earthquakes across the Rodiac Highlands have increased in recent decades, prompting some to fear that the Colossus may be stirring.  

Legends and Prophecies

• The Awakening of Stoneheart is said to signal the return of divine war.

• Some say only the Echo Hammer — lost deep in the The Singing Caverns — can awaken it.

• It may be the only being capable of withstanding the rebirth of the Diis Ferreis war machines.

• A few radicals believe awakening the Colossus is the key to dwarven ascension.
