Tartrallon, a male gargoyle of exceptional antiquity, is a living relic of a forgotten era. His existence traces back an astonishing 3019 years, a testament to the enigmatic craftsmanship of the mages of the Ancients. Carved meticulously from stone and imbued with the volatile essence of demonic magic, Tartrallon's creation was a process shrouded in arcane mystery. His stony visage, etched with grotesque details and a perpetual scowl, bears witness to both the precision of his crafting and the unrelenting anger that courses through his ancient soul.
Sterlion, once a thriving capital city, stood as a grand testament to the heights of civilization during the era of Fallens. Its towering spires, intricate architecture, and bustling streets were renowned throughout the land. Tartrallon's role within Sterlion was that of a protector—a gargoyle watchman perched atop the city's walls, vigilant and unwavering.
Tartrallon relies on his immense physical strength and inherent magical abilities granted to him by the Ancients. His clawed hands, honed to razor-sharpness over millennia, can rend through stone and steel with ease. Additionally, he possesses the power of flight, granting him unparalleled mobility when defending the city's walls.
However, as the ages passed, Sterlion's fortunes waned, and the once-vibrant city fell into decline. Wars, plagues, and the relentless passage of time took their toll, reducing the city to a mere shadow of its former glory. The mighty walls that Tartrallon had guarded so faithfully began to crumble, and the once-proud capital descended into ruin.
For centuries, Tartrallon lay dormant, his existence all but forgotten by the world. But he was not truly asleep, for the ancient magic that animated him also endowed him with the ability to awaken in times of dire need.
As Sterlion's ruins became a magnet for adventurers seeking to plunder its treasures, Tartrallon would awaken from his stone slumber to defend his city's legacy. Countless stories emerged of daring adventurers who faced the wrath of the living gargoyle as they attempted to pillage the remnants of Sterlion's once-wealthy coffers. Tartrallon, a guardian still fiercely devoted to his city, would confront these intruders with unrelenting resolve, thwarting their ambitions and driving them away, often with nothing more than a memory of the terror they had encountered.
