The Anchor of the World

== Summary ==
The Anchor of the World is a great mountain range created by Boriyas during the great age of creation before the gods retreated from Galbar.https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5088553 He filled it with strange extraordinary creatures called Embryos. These Embryos, born of the god's rage, appear to be rather violent and capable of mauling birds. The mountains boast vegetation and plant life;The Lifeblood sent it’s force into the stone ground, causing new plants to spring up and grow, fat roots topped with purple flowers that cracked the stone as they grew and hardy ferns that clasped tightly to the sheer faces of the mountains.The mountains are also home to stone birds, an extraordinary species of supernaturally strong, omnivorous super social terror birds.https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5089026 They feed on plants and small critters;The Lifeblood took a boulder from the mountain side and began carving it. It shaped a form similar to the creation that had just been destroyed but far stronger. And larger. This new bird stood firmly on the ground, two thick, powerful legs holding its proud body high. The legs ended in large, crushing talons, strong enough to toss boulders aside and carry the beast at incredible speeds. Its beak, unlike its cousins, was broad and made for crushing and digging.
The new great beast stood proud and strong, ready to fight and survive anything the Mountains of the Stone One could throw at it. Being able to climb any cliff and overturn any rock to find the nutritious roots and small critters that would feed it. But, as equipt as it was, this new creature had lost the essence that inspired it. It was a creature of stone, not of leaves.
The Lifeblood looked at this new almost-bird and decided it could give it more. From the stone it carved more of these creatures, binding them together in their own kind of flock, one of the ground. It gave to them a certain intelligence, not sapience nor true wisdom, but the kind of brain that could truly be social and form bonds. Lastly, it painted the crests of these birds a vibrant red in honor of the single being that spurred their creation.
With a caw, the first of the great Stone Birds lead its flock away from the Lifeblood, the beat of their talons against the ground resounding and sending the previous rulers of the mountainside scrambling away.https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5089026
