Vilandruc (Vih-Lahn-Druhk)
A dwarf toils under his recent project. Sweats coats his brow, and blisters swell his hands. His chisel works diligently to carve the finest details, but finally, he finishes. Taking a step to appreciate his work, the mighty gargoyle stands tall by the mines entrance. Watching fiercely for any threats, natural or accidental, the lord of stones blessing now hangs high above the dwarf and his allies.

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Depicted as a large four headed gargoyle the size of two men, Vilandruc is seen as strong, and perceptive. The four heads represent the aspects of men he guards, one of the body, one of the soul, one of the mind, and one of the heart. As well, this visage is depicted as having four arms, and two mighty tails with three pairs of mighty wings.
There are other depictions, however. Some see Vilandruc as any statue that stands, them being mere extensions of his divine body.

Personal history
Being bore from Doppelts understanding of the universe it had created around itself, Vilandruc came into existence as stone to begin, but soon grew and grew into the very foundation of what is known as reality.
Shortly after Vilandrucs birthing, he asked his makes why they fought if they are pillars to one another's existence. Mocking the gods impotence, Malevolence punished his attempt at wisdom by splitting his head into fourths. This was so that the god would never truly be able to see the truth of things again, always being able to only see one aspect at a time. Benevolence, unable to reverse what his brother had done, gave his child a boon. Benevolence gave his child the ability to breathe life into that which he creates. If he cannot see the truth of all things, he may create a truth of his own.
