Walking walls are offshoots of the earth elementals. Shaped by the elemental lords and shaitan pashas over thousands of years, they earn their name as walking bulwarks who provide defense to ground troops. They are valued guards and escorts thanks to their ability to bring their stony arms and head together to provide mobile cover on the battlefield.
A walking wall stands almost eight feet tall, its body appearing as a moving outcropping of roughly-hewn rock. Its arms and head are protected by great plates of solid stone. It has only vague facial features.
Walking walls are naturally servile creatures who do their best to protect their designated ward. Shaitan genies, earth mephit warlords, and mortal spellcasters alike seek them out. They are also deceptively intelligent, planning ahead and placing themselves in strategic locations on the field of battle.
Walking walls are frequently summoned by Yennba’s faithful, and were commonly used by the military of the Kingdom of Kown-Dam. Nowadays, they are used to protect temples and to escort high-ranking priests on dangerous missions.
