With the old man's spatial abilities, they moved on to the next race stationed on the second floor.
The Stonekin.
Unlike the Amazari, the Stonekin did not live above ground. Their domain lay beneath the desert itself, hidden far below the shifting sands of the second floor. What appeared barren and lifeless on the surface concealed an enormous subterranean civilization carved directly into bedrock.
The Stonekin were short, barely half the height of an average human, but their bodies were dense and compact, formed of stone fused flesh that gave them a weight and solidity far beyond their size.
Their society was structured and rigid, built around craftsmanship. Unlike the Amazari, leadership among the Stonekin was not determined by gender, but by merit, age, and power.
The meeting was brief but decisive.
Though they did not have any internal conflict, they needed no convincing.
After deliberation, they committed two Rank Three elders to the effort.
