“We who are forgotten, remember,
We clawed at rock until our fingers bled,
We cried out for justice, but were unheard.
Our children wept in hunger,
And so we feasted upon the gods.
Here we wait, in aeons of silence.
We few, we profane.
—Found scrawled on a wall in the lost Revann Thaig by explorer Faruma Helmi, 5:10 Exalted. Unknown author.”
Rock Wraiths, also known as Profanes, are legendary creatures in the Deep Roads.
Background
Dwarven legends tell of dwarves so corrupt that even the Stone rejects them. Doomed to wander the Deep Roads in an undying half-life, these creatures are known as Rock Wraith, and they are creatures of hunger, wrath and little more. While it's commonly held that Rock Wraiths are myths, every so often a survivor, often half mad, staggers from the Deep Roads whispering of living rock assembling itself into a twisted shape shifting parody of a humanoid creature, and of baleful eyes glowing in the dark.
Rock Wraiths are able to be possessed by demons from the Fade.[1] Furthermore, they are able to adjust their form to fit specific situations.[2] An old and powerful Rock Wraith can become an Ancient Rock Wraith.
Tactics
Due to their earthen physiology, Rock Wraiths are immune to lightning magic (Not true on any difficulty below Nightmare at least). They have normal resistance to fire and nature magic. Ice and spirit magic is very effective against them.
