A Golem was a magical humanoid, animated by spellcasters such sorcerers to serve them as servants or guards.[1]
Origins and Distribution[]
Most golems were created by creating a humanoid form and animating through the ritual known as the Ritual of the Unshaped Form, though some spellcasters could use spells such as animate guardian spell to temporarily create golems.[2][3][1]
They were usually made of otherwise inert material such as wood, rock or clay, though flesh golems and bone golems are known to exist also.[1]
They were strong, unsleeping and totally obedient.[1]
Morgana and the Twelve Forms[]
What appears to be one of the twelve golems.
Such beings were employed by Morgana in her attempt to unleash pure Mayhem on the world. By mastering the Twelve Forms, the Sigils, which were said to hold the keys of power over all things, Morgana sought to create an irresistible force over all life. She aimed to make Masks of the Sigils and imbue these Masks with the power of Mayhem. She then planned to fit these Masks to the undead Golems and unleash them to do her will. However, before finishing the twelfth Mask, which would have made the power of Mayhem a reality, she and her Golems were destroyed by the Monarch of Arion.[4]
