Terragrim
No one gets left beneath the rubble.
Concept: A quarry rescuer remade in living sandstone, Terragrim is the wall between danger and the people who cannot get out of its way. His earth-spirit pact gives him crushing strength, a protective stone mantle, conjured rock bindings and a heavy stone maul. He holds the line while his allies bring everyone home.
Origin: Once human, now living sandstone: a quarry worker who bargained with the spirits beneath a collapsing fault to save his crew.

Hindrances
- Driven (Major): Must confront those who poison or destroy the land, even when a safer course would protect him.
- Habit (Minor): Grinds grit between his teeth and sheds stone dust onto furniture and food; the constant mess makes company uncomfortable.
- Stubborn (Minor): Once he judges that the land has been wronged, he resists compromise or admitting that his judgment might be mistaken.

Backstory
When a quarry collapse trapped his crew, Terragrim refused to leave anyone behind. He asked the spirits beneath the fault for the strength to lift what no human could lift. They answered by remaking him in living sandstone, and demanded that he protect the land and the people who depend on it. He carries a small keepsake stone from every place he has helped save. In a fight he blocks the way to civilians, binds a dangerous enemy and closes with his maul. His hardest lesson is that protecting a place sometimes means listening to people whose judgment differs from his own.
Appearance
Terragrim is a broad, heavily muscled sandstone guardian with a bald, craggy stone head, deep-set amber eyes and bare stone hands and feet. His chest is uncovered. Loose charcoal-green trousers gather below his knees beneath an olive-green draped hip cloth with moss-green edging and a braided brown waist cord. In a grounded, bent-knee fighting stance, he grips a compact dark-stone maul diagonally across his body with both hands; reddish-brown leather binds its head to a straight wooden-looking shaft.
