Gargoyles are emissaries of the Watchers. Some people call them Wards. They watch whatever takes place and if properly engaged, can become powerful guardians of hearth, home, and public buildings. Gargoyles report directly to the Librarian of Akashic records, and so they would be sacred to librarians and museum curators, record keepers of any kind. Their original function was to direct water from rooftops, but their form was always grotesque, and Gargoyles incorporate features of just about any protective, fierce sort of creature, including wolves, dogs, lions, eagles, etc. Because of the placement of water spouts at the corners of buildings, the protective nature of Gargoyle is naturally employed. Gargoyle oil is earthy and smells like lichen and rocks. Gargoyle is not appropriate for police or other law enforcers because it does not include enough active principle. However, many circles include Gargoyle duties to someone who does not participate, but simple observes and defends. Gargoyles rarely speak, even if spoken to.
