Stone Brother is a sturdy spirit of earth and stone. He now lies imprisoned in the depths of the world, where he is tormented by an unquenchable fire. It is unknown whether he was sequestered by a sorcererking or some other, more ancient being.
The solitude and a burning curse have driven Stone Brother insane. Many sentient beings that live too long underground are driven mad. This is the case with the feral hejkin who worship Stone Brother. Myths relate the madness of Stone Brother; his bizarre whispers echo endlessly through caverns deep inside the world. Other stories connect Stone Brother and his burning curse to sites of volcanic activity. Such tales are common around the The Smoking Crown.
Those who follow Stone Brother are marked by their ruthless fighting and love of powers that evoke fire and stone. Many of Stone Brother’s brutal devotees become stonefire ragers (Primal Power). Muls find the battle fervor of Stone Brother appealing, and many disciples of Stone Brother can be found in the gladiatorial pits of Athas. Earth wardens and even shamans and druids are drawn toward veneration of Stone Brother.

the burning fury that consumes Stone Brother’s restless spirit with feats such as Explosive Rage Strike
(Primal Power) and Reckless Rage (Primal Power). The
