Pech

Pech were earth-aligned fey.

Description
They looked like gnomes with dark brown or dull grey skin, pupilless eyes that reflected light like an owl or cat, and thin, gangly arms ending in abnormally large and powerful hands. They could have wiry hair or a thick mane, the colour of wet clay.

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

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