Geeraka

Geeraka are a race of earth elementals that look vaguely humanoid, most able to pass themselves off as statues. They are each attuned to a specific element through a magic stone.

### Appearance

Geeraka apprear to look a lot like smaller stone golems that are more human proportioned. In fact they almost look like humanoids made of rock. When they want they can perfectly disguise themselves as statues. The Geeraka looks like you would expect from a statue of a person, the lower quality of gem they have the lower their stature, the weakest looking like children, the higher quality looking like knights. Geeraka are powered by enchanted crystals.

### Environment

Geeraka live underground in hidden cities. Most Elorians have never seen a Geeraka and believe them to be myths, but they are very much real. There are a few that live in small settlements on the surface, but they usually live in ruins and pretend to be statues from the civilization that lived there previously which has caused confusion among anthropologists.

## Geeraka Traits

### Alignment

For their own protection most Geeraka would prefer anonymity and tend towards true neutral alignments.
