General description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Origination<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are various kinds of golems; however there are two main categories.<\/p>\n

Arcane golems are the ones that are typically spoken of in legend.\u00a0 These golems include the ones made from clay and stone, but also include iron.<\/p>\n

Necromantic golems are associated with bone, blood or flesh.\u00a0 Golems of this nature have only been created for the last few centuries.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Physical Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Golems can take on a variety of shapes and sizes, but are usually constrained by the material that they consist of.<\/p>\n

Clay and stone golems are more formless.\u00a0 They just barely appear to be humanoid, and may not have expressive features.\u00a0 Their bodies can also be more misshapen and asymmetrical.<\/p>\n

Iron golems can be formless, but are more often shaped to look like armor.\u00a0 In fact, expert practitioners of the arcane arts will typically animate an entire suit of armor to act as a golem for them.<\/p>\n

Necromantic golems are shaped by the type of bone and flesh, but they can also be modified by the will of the caster.\u00a0 Blood golems are perhaps the most peculiar variety, since it can be so easily molded in a quick manner.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clothing and Adornment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though they can, in theory, be clothed, golems do not suffer pain or shame.\u00a0 It is considered a waste of time to offer garments to the creatures, although some wizards have been known to adorn their golems with straps or belts, effectively making them a beast of burden in addition to a protector.\u00a0 Many golems also have markings carved into them for personality as well.\u00a0 These can be quite tribal, or they can have an enchanted aura.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

General Personality<\/strong><\/p>\n

Temperament and Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n

Golems have no emotions.\u00a0 They live to serve the request of their caster, and as such, will not cease their task unless they have been destroyed, or their caster has met their end.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Death<\/strong><\/p>\n

Technically, golems do not die unless they are disenchanted by their caster.\u00a0 Even if you broke them into pieces, they would still exist.\u00a0 If a wizard was able to piece them back together, the golem would function once more. \u00a0If it wasn\u2019t put back together it would remain permanently paralyzed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

History<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mythology<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are legends of living golems that have become self aware.\u00a0 Some of the tales say that their master gave them their freedom, while others say they fought their wizards as if they were slavers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
