Element: Earth
The Gargoyles are the patient keepers of Gemnix Terra. Carved of living stone and grown through with moss, they measure time in seasons rather than moments, and they judge every choice by what it leaves behind. Their halls are cut into ancient forest ridges where roots and rock have grown into one another, and their crafters shape tools meant to outlast their makers. Where a gem stirs beneath the ground, Gargoyles arrive first — not to claim it, but to steady the land around it. To join them is to trade speed for endurance, and noise for craft that holds.
