Gargoyles
A people who reject being treated as monuments because of stone bodies, known for craft and civic rights.
Place in Avarra
Stone Feather is a small but open settlement in Asteron’s Northern Passes, established around Asteron cliffs. It is not a separate kingdom viewed from outside; it is a village or quarter node tied to neighbouring roads, markets, and common law.
City life and diaspora
In Kara Örs, Gargoyles households participate in cliff safety and stone carving without being confined to a single “foreign quarter.” Someone arriving from the village can find kin, an apprenticeship, a guest bed, or a partner; city-born people maintain regular ties to Stone Feather.
Living together
Gargoyles are not reduced to one temperament, profession, or politics. Local agreements, access needs, and safety practices are made explicit so difference remains part of ordinary life. Their visible expertise is cliff safety and stone carving, but it is never anyone’s compulsory destiny.
Adventure ties
