Bloody Stoneheart

Descriptive Text

Such were the sins of Bloody Stoneheart against his own people that they cursed him so that the touch of unworked stone was fire to him. And it did not take long for the authorities to put him to flight from the cities. But he would find a reliable source of cut stone in the graveyards where he set to the crafting of his revenge. Within a few months, the named and dated markers of deceased relatives rose up as a single colossus to strike down the living.

History

Bloody Stoneheart is the alias of a dwarven master stonemason from the northern edge of the Mountains of Misery in Darkon who started to dabble in dread golemcrafting among other dark and ill-advised matters. Finally one of his own people cursed him to to feel the touch of uncut stone like fire. Cut off from the mountains of his home, he immigrated to Darkon's cities, but soon managed to be put to flight from them. It was in the great graveyard outside of one that he found the cut stone with which he would take his revenge, constructing a colossal tombstone golem.
