Golems

"Master, do I have a soul?"

Created in 250CE by a group of Golem and Dwarven articifers after receiving an order from the King of Knardon at the time. Originally they were built as mindless servants but it was agreed that they would be upgraded with the capacity to learn and adapt to situations whilst still keeping their obedience. Despite this however no one anticipated a sudden surge in Golem intelligence leading to a world-wide debate on whether Golems are sentient and thus deserve rights.

The "skeleton" of a Golem is made of wood, iron plates and leather straps to keep it together. On the outside a Golem is fitted with a shell or carapace made out of anything from metal to stone or even crystal.

Typically situated on their forehead, Golems are fitted with a gem that absorbs power from the surrounding area and acts as a brain.
