Stryga

Once a celestial, a protector of humanity that guided them since the dawn of civilization. Stryga found himself drawn to people's stories, the tapestries woven over the course of a lifetime, investments in relationships and the scars left by betrayals. In ancient Egypt, devastating earthquakes plagued the port of Alexandria. Stryga pleaded to the Divines to save the people; so much unnecessary death and destruction easily fixed with the Divines' will...yet they refused. The condemnation birthed a rage hitherto unknown to Stryga, a rage born from loss for the people he had grown to love. Sensing this fury, the Divines cast Stryga from The Kingdom to the earth below. He was transformed into a grotesque creature, cursed to never again see the light of day for he would turn to stone at sunrise, returning to his monstrous form once the sun had retreated. Stryga vowed from then to protect the people the Divines turned their eyes away from, a guardian who would stand vigil over humanity.
