Keepers of Stones
From OakthorneWiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe Keepers of Stones are strange sorts, even among the Hypogean freaks of UnderLondon. Each of them is master of one of the sets of Stones, the pieces of mouldering stonework left over from Roman times - the last remnants of Latin construction which they believe keep the Curse in check.
The Keepers' purviews are also symbolic of the powers they have seized for themselves in UnderLondon. Though they do not directly control anything, everyone answers to one of the Keepers, in some capacity.
