Appearance
He prefers to appear as a megalith of pure stone, perhaps found in a cave or near a mountaintop. A voice that is so deep you feel it in your stomach, rather than hear it in your ears, emanates from the stone itself. On the rare occasion he must take a more mobile form, he manifests as a truly colossal earth elemental, a veritable walking mountain, and does not bother to appear humanoid.Lore
Petra is the echo in a cavern, rich veins of ore, the faceless walls of stone, and the great sea of rock all the way to the center of the world. There is far more deep stone than anything else; the world as most know it is only a thin crust on the vast body of Petra. Time, as most know it, is also inconsequential to him: His movements are the rising of mountains and the drifts of continents. Only Foria knows longer aeons and Zhuul vaster space. Petra's sea of rock has many layers. First a mantle of solid stone on which the world dwells--the bed upon which Terra's life blooms. Then an ocean of magma that feeds Ardea's volcanos. Next a slurry of diamonds that feeds mortal's mines. Finally, at the very center is a vast iron crystal, Petra's Heart. Petra does not involve himself often in mortal affairs. His influence is most perceivable when it comes in the form of earthquakes, but even these are inscrutable: Is it anger? Boredom? Or some unknowable whim?Divine Domains

Tenets of Faith
High Tenets
- The plainest, quitest things are the noblest. Even the humble pebble was formed in the heart of the earth, or in the grating of mountains, or the draining of long-forgotten oceans. A single pebble has seen far more of history than scholars will ever know.
- Everything man has ever known or done is just a coat of dust on the surface of stone-inconsequential.
