Crystaline- The World's First Builders

The Laborers
When Stona was created, Nautire fell in love. The two had children, not in the way mortals do, they pooled their power in an act of love and spawned the gentle,strong, and durable giants. They became laborers of the grand castle that the gods live in. They are the ones who taught the Rhinons how to build, and gladly took to the field of battle to protect their younger kin. By the time war was on the dawn, the Crystaline had nearly run out of things to build. As such, they were more than willing to fight and work their magical tendons.

Physicality
Crystaline are being that at a young age looks vey much like a goliath made of precious gems. Most of which jut out to give features such as pointed shoulders and spined knuckes. Normally Crystalline have a blue or purple hue, but some have been seen to have a red or green hue. None of the Crystalline have mouthes, ears, or noses. The only facial feature on are two white magic eyes. Crystalline as they age become denser and smaller looking more like a dwarf. When Crystalline are young (0-500 years old) their hieght is about eight feet tall. When they become old (500-5000 years old) they shrink to about 6.5 feet tall. Crystalline are born and eat in very unique ways. Crystaline can be built using magic and precious gems, or in most places built by them, there are catacombs where dying and dead Crystaline are sent and their bodies grow together and in time Crystaline children emerge from the mass of crystals. Crystaline consume raw magical energy. When spells are used, nearby Crystaline syphon off a portion of the mana. Spellcasters can store magic inside of Crystaline as well, making them valuable for more than the gems they are made of. Additionally, they consume ether from lodestones and the air naturally.
