==Recruitment==
To be initiated into the Stoneguard, a supplicant must study under their masters for years on end, perfecting the Stoneguard's signature aloof demeanour and honing their skills in combat. Any Aelf wanting to earn their patron's blessing has to endure a number of trials; fasting for months or enduring terrible storms on top of the mountains naked peak. When thought to be ready, the supplicant is taken to the peaks of the mountain and buried alive. Should the supplicant find themselves blessed, they will be able to breathe through the cracks. After a full week, if found worthy, they are granted the strenght to free themselfes and emerge as a true Stoneguard. Those found wanting instead are reclaimed by the mountain, their bodies returing to the fertile soil. {{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}
==Combat==
==Wargear==
They wield long-handed hammers, each of which bearing enchanted rock, that can shatter every bone in their foes bodies. Some amongst their number prefer to be armed with Diamondpick hammers, large diamond-cored pickhammers that, when wielded correctly, could shatter through material as hard as a [[Daemon Prince]]'s armour.{{Fn|1}}
In addition to their heavy, Stoneplate Armor, each Stoneguard wears large, cumbersome helmets, invoking the image of the revered [[Ymetrican Longhorn]], as much as it trains their posture and balance.{{Fn|2a}}
 
==Soulbound==
Sometimes, an Alarith Stoneguard join a binding and becomes a [[Soulbound]]. These [[Aelementari]] have to balance their loyality to their patron [[Aelementor]], and to those souls they are bound to. Some of these warriors come to see themselves as mediators between these two poles, working to improve the understanding each side has for the other, while others view their role as an agent of their mountain patron. As much as they are locked in place, the Stoneguard is free to travel the realms, opposing any threat before it can reach their home [[Realm of Hysh]].{{Fn|2a}}
