Kiln-Hand 05 is assembled from coarse granite blocks polished smooth where years of rope, dust, and labor have worn him down. Iron hoops cinch his shoulders, elbows, and knees, each one darkened by soot and rubbed bright along the edges. Behind a barred chest grate, an amber Star-Sand core pulses like a banked furnace, casting warm light across the quarry dust packed into his joints. His head is a blunt wedge of granite with a narrow horizontal visor, and three tiny rune-slots glow along the brow whenever he is concentrating. He moves with startling care for something so heavy, placing each foot as though the ground were a sleeping animal. The unexpected detail is his meticulous grooming: every iron hoop is oiled, every rune is brushed clean, while his surrounding worksite remains buried under chaos and rubble.
