Pech

Pech are earth-aligned fey. They look like gnomes but with dark brown or dull grey skin, pupilless eyes that reflect light like an owl or cat and thin, gangly arms that end in abnormally large and powerful hands. They can have wiry hair or a thick mane of it, the colour of wet clay.

Pech are naturally affiliated with the earth, so much so that they are often mistaken for natives of the Elemental Plane of Earth. When they gather together, they can mould stone as if it were clay and conjure walls of it out of thin air. They also have the ability to petrify and un-petrify living things. When on their own though, they easily wield picks in their powerful hands.

Their affinity with stone and their natural aversion to sunlight make their underground habitats ideal.
