Fathach
Fathach (pronounced fah-hock) are beings made of stone animated by the magic of the Vartach and set to a purpose.
Playing a Fathach
As a Fathach, Your character could dedicate themselves wholly to the purpose given to them by the Vartach, whether it be guarding their “parent” Vartach or seeking to gather knowledge on arcane secrets from all over the Five Realms. Alternatively, your character might have turned against their original purpose, either to escape an overbearing or oppressive Vartach or simply to feel like they have free will.
Fathach experience emotion and have their own hopes and dreams just like other people, but they also have a strong sense of what they are supposed to do with their lives, imbued in them from the moment the animating magic suffuses their being. Their inorganic nature means that the Fathach are without sex and cannot reproduce without the aid of a willing Vartach . The creative intention imbuing some Fathach may include a sense of gender while in others it can emerge spontaneously. Though some find it to be a rewarding field of expression and experimentation, most feel no attachment to the ideas of gender common among the organic species.

Costuming Requirements
Fathach players need to be particularly committed to their costuming and prepared to make sure all of their exposed skin is made to look like stone.
