When a Stoneling is birthed it finds itself alone on the desert surface of Theyran. It's survival tied the energy of the plane itself. Stonelings quickly begin to gather together for community and kinship.

Stonelings can be summoned to the material plane from the moment they exist, spellcasters will have momentary control of their actions while often put in harms way.

Stonelings grow very quicky, becoming a Boulderkin within a few years.

A fully grown Stoneling, now a Boulderkin will become aware of the forces that dominate Theyran; Thaiek and Trozok. Deities of earth, they call to Boulderkin to join their army in return for greater power.

Boulderkin can now only summonable by spellcasters with more experience or power. Those sided with one deity or the other can only be summoned by a spellcaster with similar persona.

After a few hundred years of loyal service, Thaiek or Trozok will eventually gift them the power they promised. Their form will change significantly as they become Rock Smith's.

Formerly a Boulderkin, Rock Smiths can now shape the rock and stone of Theyran, using it to repair damage to their fortress home.

Now only the most powerful spellcasters will a direct connection to either Thaiek or Trozok can summon a Rock Smith, often they care called forth to lift massive or heavy objects, or to shape the material plane using rock and stone.

On Theyran or the Material Plane these elementals are powerful fighters, able to throw objects far larger than themselves, cause walls to crumble was easily as they can build them.

A Rock Smith that demonstrates a particular skill for combat can be chosen by their deity to become a Quaker Lord. Only a few dozen of these elementals exist as they are chosen to become generals of the forces of their chosen deity.

Too powerful to be summoned by spellcasters they can now only reach the material plane through the stone gates. Typically at the direction of their master, but they can choose to do so of their own will.

On Theyran they are both architects and assailants, commanding the armies to defend or attack where needed while also planning, extending and reinforcing their fortresses.

An Avalancher is formed in times of dire need. Thousands of Stonelings, hundreds of Boulderkin, dozens of Rock Smiths and at least one Quaker Lord will join together to form a single minded earth elemental.

Only Thaiek or one of his most devout followers could call for aid of this magnitude. Typically to defend the innocent or to defeat a superior evil force.

Once the summoning is concluded due to time expires; the Avalancher splits back into it's component elementals in a explosion of rock and stone

Forged not born, created by Trozok himself to form an army of his own, infusing the sands of Theyran with the raw energy of the Elemental Plane he creates Sand Blasters, then binds them to his will.

Spellcasters near a large enough source of sand, like a beach or desert can summon these elementals. Their too small to fight any meaningful combat but each Sand Blaster can control the grains of sand around them.

Once a Sand Blaster has been to the material plane it becomes aware of its own self. On its return the Sand Blaster becomes a Dune Walker, no longer bound by the will of others.

An awoken Sand Blaster, now Dune Walker, is a self aware elemental loyal to none; but its wanderings of Theyran will lead it to understand the Plane and its deity, Trozok.

Trozok will bargain with and bribe the Dune Walkers to join his army. In doing so they have a purpose and can no longer be summoned by spellcaster of the Material Plane.

Now a solider in the army of Trozok, the Dune Walker will spend centuries fighting a forever war. Any that show great talent will be elevated by Trozok to either Shifters or Desecrators.

Elevated to Shifter by Trozok, a shifter gains unique powers and is given command of Trozok's forces.

Summonable by only the most powerful spellcasters and follows of Trozok, typically an Orc. Shifters are powerful creatures when summoned, able to fight entire warbands by themselves.

As commanders Shifters can only seek to prove themselves and be made an overlord or Viscount of the Bassalt Fortress.

Elevated to Desertcator by Trozok for a single purpose, to lend aid to his Orc forces on the Material Plane.

When a Orc shaman or a Chieftain with enough following calls for divine aid, Trozok will often create and then send forth a Desertcator

Desertcator are terrible wrath bringers, sent headlong into the summoners enemy, they can lay waste to whole regiments.
