Description
Gilham the Mountain is known as the tallest and grandest creature of all time. His skin made of the hardest stone and his bones made of the thickest metal. Standing roughly 30 Kilometers tall(19-20 miles) his hands span mountains yet they can hold the gentlest touch. Moss, trees, and grass span his entire body, growing out of his natural skin which seems to be dirt and rock itself. A sunken head shows three massive and gentle eyes that pear out into the world.

Story
Gilham (Gil-ham) was born into the world not as a god but one of the first one hundred beings that inhabited the Material plane. Born of the rock and earth itself, Gilham traveled and ventured forth to see the world and all that inhabit it. For his incredible size he posed many dangers to the insignificant size of the future elves, dwarves, and humans. Secluding himself from the world more as a passive watcher then an Aggressor. This became his undoing when the ancient war of the elder beings unfolded to the mortals Gilham took on a vow of pacifism. Wanting not to harm the natural world and those who lived in it.

As war waged, many that he called family died along with it, the surviving elders becoming more dangerous to the mortals they perceived so lowly of. It is only when the ancient city of Nascendi had become Vanquished by the evil Elder Demorbo that Gilham Learned his purpose in life. As a Protector.

Gilham perceived many of the deaths in the land as his own fault. Had he intervened in the beginning, the horrid plagues and diseases unleashed by Demorbo would not have destroyed the lands and left it barren. Wishing for redemption but refusing to cause harm to any being, neither mortal or not, he overpowered Demorbo and opened up his own heart. Placing the putrid elder in imprisonment in his own body.

With the ending of Demorbo Gilham found peace with protecting those that walked the world. Creating lakes and forests with his own hand and power. Moving nature to give benefit to all. But after centuries of helping Gilham felt his life slowly ebbing away. Though Demorbo was trapped within him, his plague now didn't curse the world, it now ravaged and sapped the strength of Gilhams body. As time passed and the Rock bones within himself began to drain and break, he choose not to give chance that Demorbo would escape but fled to a secluded mountain valley and let the curse run through him. Knowing that even if he were to die, His heart made of stone would still hold the evil being within.

It is when Gilhams stone flesh began to fade and crumble, his bones becoming mountainous ranges themselves that he learned the curse was far worse then mere death. Demorbo cursing undeath upon the once might giant until he open his heart. With persistence Gilham refused, giving up his own body to hold home for nature. Now stuck immobile as mere conscious bones for what he thought would be all eternity.

However this all ended with the 2nd calamity of the material world. Geneside of the evil elders that hid from the world rid Gilham of the Cursed parasite within him. Giving chance for Rinafarus, goddess of rebirth to revive him and ascend him to godhood for his services to mankind.

Dogma
The Following of Gilham is to bring abroad the act of kindness and acceptance of all creatures. The words and prayers brought upon to all those who wish to excel in positions of protection. The good preferer to speak his prayers but worship of Gilham is sometimes strangely even done by the wicked and evil. Gilham accepts all who wish for peace.

Clergy and temples
There is no true temple of Gilham. Many shrines are placed across the world in places of peace and tranquility. These shrines of natural stones often have his teachings and words engraved or placed within nature around it, no two being completely the same. Many Followers take pilgrimages to find and take meditation at many of these locations during their lifetime.

Other stories of Gilham
Gilham has never killed any creature during his lifetime but there has only ever been once that he has ever swung a weapon. During the god wars after the 2nd calamity Gilham took the sword appropriately named the God slayer, made by the god of the forge Roark and ended the age long war by cleaving into the ground with a single strike. The ravine like scar it left on the world is believed to fall to the center of the world.

Note
Gilhams stats were based upon scaling an abomination and outsider to colossal +10 scale. the bonuses and penalties of size were adhoc at a progressive scale based upon the standardized version. This was to prevent a -4000 or so to hit with a +8000 to grapples. Cause it didn't really make sense. If you would like to know or see more please feel free to reply or message me. -theperfect25
