Grombek is a peculiar and ancient creature known as a Stonekeeper, hailing from the underground realm of Terrastone. Standing at a towering 8 feet tall, Grombek resembles a humanoid golem made of various types of stone and minerals, including granite, limestone, and even some veins of precious gems. He has two arms, two legs, and an almost featureless face with deep-set eyes that emit a faint glow. Grombek speaks with a deep, resonant voice and is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and magic of Terrastone, having been alive for over a thousand years. Though he is slow-moving and initially appears intimidating, he has a gentle and protective nature. Grombek is tasked with safeguarding Terrastone's secrets and treasures and is more than willing to share stories of his long life with curious travelers.
