“
A mineral dull in colour if not composite, Beryl can generally be found underground, where its eerie green surface calls to miners, refiners and gem collectors alike. ”

- The First Rock
(incomplete)
Beryl Rock: The Zillots, may they rest, believed that Beryl was the first rock.
You: Wow.
Beryl Rock: Yes, I am special. They believed we were the dried tears of their giant, who wept so hard when she heard the story of Petronella and Patufet that the mountains became an avalanche of rolling green tears, tumbling over each other, and forming great holes and caverns in the ground below.
You: What happened to Petronella and Patufet?

Beryl Rock: Grilled batterfly tastes like rubber tyres soaked in pickled whortleberry juice.
You: I was not expecting that.
- The Creator of the Universe
(incomplete)
Beryl Rock: Everything was better then.
You: When?
Beryl Rock: Zille! What are you, some kind of idiot?
You: Bit harsh. I just heard it was Pot.
Beryl Rock: Maybe they do. But only when Zille imagines they do.
You: I see.
- Common Complaints of Beryl (part 1)
Beryl Rock: Spriggan thought it was funny, you know.
You: What?
Beryl Rock: To get back at almighty Zille, creator of all, Spriggan offered to help out tending the rocks one day. You know, to get on her good side.
You: Whose?
Beryl Rock: ZILLE, may she look kindly upon my greenly obedience. Zille? The one true Giant? Giant before all giants, sculptor of creation, she who cannot be shaken? Zille, all obsequious obeisance to her name. Anyway, to make a long story short...
You: Too late.
Beryl Rock: ...Spriggan, so proud of the way his piffling tree things worked, decided everything, everything should have roots. And PING! Eveyrone gets roots. And suddenly PAF. Beryl gets to grow back.
You: Rocks have roots?
Beryl Rock: I know. Ridiculous. That Spriggan. Don't tell anyone I said this but, -- *sssh* -- he's not as funny as he thinks he is. And what's more...
You: There's more?
Beryl Rock: Regeneration is a right pain in the elements.
You: Poor Beryl.
Beryl Rock: You mocking me, Glitch?
You: Noooooo.
- Common Complaints of Beryl (part 2)
Beryl Rock: If you think this is bad, you should have seen the place when Zille first invented chickens.
You: What was bad? What? Wait, Zille invented Chickens?!?
Beryl Rock: Zille invented EVERYTHING, may her almighty Zilleness show mercy to my very muttering of her name. She had a mind to create something, she said, more huggable than a rock, so she created these little beaked terrors. Bane of our lives, they were.
You: Don't like chickens?
Beryl Rock: Didn't like the fact that Zille couldn't see the point in wings. Or legs.
You: Hmm.
Beryl Rock: So they just sat there, squawking and complaining, and pecking at the heels of anyone who was unfortunate enough to pass close by.
You: But they HAVE wings. And legs.
Beryl Rock: Only because Zille, may she smile kindly upon her gravel-brained servant, invented Humbaba and Cosma to do her bidding and get the little blighters moving.
You:That's...
Beryl Rock: Amazing, yes, all praise to her omnipotent and glorious Zilleness.
You: ...I was going to say odd. But ok.
