Stone Maiden

This creature resembles an exquisitely carved statue, female and shapely in design. Loose-fitting robes clothe her form and a veil hangs across her shoulders and wraps around her head, though her face is not obscured. Her skin is the color of shale.

Stone maidens are reclusive creatures of elemental earth thought to be somehow related to dryads and other fey creatures of earth and nature. How sages came to this conclusion is unknown (but one can venture a guess and say it is because like many fey creatures, such as nymphs, dryads, and nereids, the stone maiden is a strikingly attractive female creature). They spend almost of their time on the Elemental Planes of Earth, rarely venturing into the Material Plane, unless summoned. If summoned by a spellcaster, a stone maiden performs the task asked of her (if she can and if it does not go against her alignment) and quickly returns to her home plane.

Stone maidens rarely associate with other races, preferring to deal only with those of their own kind (meaning earth creatures). They are often found in the company of geons, non-evil vilstraks, and earth elementals. (It is rumored the Elemental Lord of Earth has a personal harem of stone maidens in his private palace.)

A stone maiden’s features are delicate and smooth. Her hair (almost always hidden by her veil) is long and flowing, and generally darker than her grayish “skin.” A typical stone maiden stands about 6 feet tall.

A stone maiden can be summoned using a summon monster VII, planar ally (or greater), or planar binding (or greater) spell.
