Stone Obelisk (5e Subclass)
The Stone Obelisk[edit]
Warlock Subclass
Gladius, the Onyx Blade, is an Old One which stands as the highest mountain in the world of Grisaire. While it is often asleep and seemingly doing nothing, Gladius' mere presence serves as a part of the lock with keeps the greatest forces roiling in R'Leth at bay. Both a guardian and a weapon of the gods, Gladius is a patron for warlocks who have something they wish to protect. True devotees to Gladius tend to be stoic people with patience, like the mountain which endures time. It is said that those who are able to reach the peak of Gladius are the only ones known to be worthy warlocks of this patron. All others will fall upon its jagged edges and be cut to pieces.
