Basics of The Stone People

The Stone People are an old folk, created by humanity as markers of remembrance and longevity. Their forms were inspired by story and myth, and by those wished not to be forgotten. However, they came to serve a much deeper purpose than decoration and familiarity; their placement was such that they were meant to watch... to become divine eyes, protectors of the mortal world and its frailty.

The Stone People’s main beliefs center around guarding the free will of our reality, and to prolong our histories, ideologies, knowledge, and wisdom beyond our own lives. Being that they are made of more durable material (i.e. stone, metal, wood, clay, glass), the Stone People offer their longevity to observe life in our reality and to catalogue it for the future. Traditionally, Stone People are found at religious or spiritual sites, particular landmarks, burial grounds, or even home gardens, and while they may not be willing to interact with us to stave off robbers or human-induced harm, what they actually accomplish is not so visible to the bare eye. Certain entities from other realities seek parts of the metaphysical self, and can sometimes induce great influence into moral judgements, or lack thereof, to harness whatever power the unknowing person allows them. However, the Stone People are the ones who interrupt this process-- it may seem in some cases that these entities have a "good" or "positive" influence, but they are still exerting their power to subtract from the freedom of those who exist in our reality.
