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.

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. [/hider] [/hider]
