When the Veryn were first settled onto Voi'Runil as jailers of the Cosmos' influence, they were also given immense magical powers that allowed them to bend and twist Ether to their will. With an excess of cosmic powers seeping through the planet's crust, Maistorin Artisane sought to find a way to use it justly which she would finally accomplish by employing the wisdom of the God of Blood and the bodies of slain Veryn champions, infusing them with latent cosmic Ether and shaping them into monstrous proportions to create the first Gargoyles. Unfortunately her plans would not go ideally as the monsters she created were mindless and untamed, horrific beasts when compared to the champions who's bodies they now inhabited. The Gargoyles would promptly be shackled down into the depths of Chateau De Ombrepos where they would lay for countless centuries.
Maistorin Artisane did not give up on them however, she would continue to develop ideas to tame the unholy beasts and run horrible experiments upon them in the dungeons below her castle. When the other nobles begun to catch wind of her actions, she'd order her guards to take them prisoner among the Gargoyles to be used as test subjects and sustenance for her pets. Countless years of feeding upon the potent flesh of Veryn nobles would yield some progress as Artisane' creations begun to evolve. Though they continued to act feral on their own, they were now obedient to her will and this gave her the confidence to reveal her grand schemes to the rest of her people, hiding away the truth of what made them evolve. Though the majority feared what the beasts were capable of, Maistorin Artisane deployed them across her lands to act as guards and watchers of order.
Following the initial reveal of the tamed Gargoyles, further developments have been made by a line of Veryn fleshcrafters within Chateau De Ombrepos to strengthen these unliving creatures including a process that allows the Veryn to breed Gargoyles between each other to increase their numbers.
Powers
Gargoyles are capable of great physical labor and resisting harm thanks to their tough figures and potent Ether flowing inside of them. Paired up with the ability to fly, sense and track Ether and even leech the essence of life out of those they prey upon makes the Gargoyle a favoured pet for many Veryn and highly sought after for accomplished tamers across Auria.
Gargoyles cannot die of natural causes, and one can only kill them by siphoning the Ether inside of them out or bleeding it out by damaging their toughened hides. When a Gargoyle is out of Ether to fuel it, it becomes a stone figure incapable of acting. Though they become much tougher in this state, they are also not a threat unless fed new Ether.
Physical Appearence
Gargoyles are typically a monstrous form of a Veryn with longer arms and buffer builds. Their heads are also much more bestial compared to the Veryn with protruding snouts, larger ears . Their generally walk on all fours but can stand up for short periods of time.
