The class that plants and holds.
Carved Clay Brown stone plates over thick Walnut leather. Broad-shouldered, forge-adjacent, built to stand firm and deliver weight.
Mason
Mason is Emberline's Heavy Vocation. Its material heritage is stone and leather — Clay Brown plates carved flat and matte, worn over thick Walnut aprons bound with iron clasps. The silhouette reads the same way from any distance: wide shoulders, a heavy chest plate with the Lineage glow reading through a narrow vertical relief, a leather apron to mid-thigh. Warm Lantern Gold light at the crown. Glass hands. Glass feet.
Culturally, Masons are the builders of what a settlement needs. They raise carved structures, tend hearths, and plant the stone that shapes a claim. A Mason's first year of play tends to orbit the settlement more than the battlefield — then, once the settlement can stand without constant attention, the Mason takes the ground it depends on and holds it.
Where the light comes from
Every Vocation carries a small family of colors — one on the Mote itself, the rest showing up across ornament, armor, and the places they gather.
