Backstory
Stone was born in a cave during an earthquake and has always been connected to the earth. He discovered he could read prophecies in stone, soil, and geological formations. He's spent centuries interpreting earth-visions and has become the foremost earth-seer in Mystara, consulted about earthquakes, mineral deposits, and geological stability.
Daily Life
He maintains the Deep Sanctum, reads prophecies for visitors, and trains apprentices in earth-divination. He spends his days in meditation within the earth, seeking visions in stone and soil. He rarely emerges to the surface, as it weakens his connection to his element.
Secret
Stone has seen a vision of a massive geological upheaval that will reshape Landorya, and he's been desperately trying to find a way to minimize the damage while hiding the full scope of the disaster.
