Background lore
Long ago during ancient wars fought over the land of Cinderfell, the high elves were on the back foot. Their leaders, builders, and warriors all came together to devise a plan for their survival. This plan culminated in the creation of the Elven Golems. The Elven Golems were hollow shells of steel housing a modified gem with the soul of a fallen warrior inside. These Golems were incapable of true sentience, and when first created were incapable of saving the High Elves on their own. The Elves response to such was to soul bind an elf to the golem. The golems took well to this, following their masters command without question. In time the golems were discovered to be capable of emotion, the ability to learn, and basic problem solving. In time as wars were won and lost, the golems were in time, forgotten. Many can still be found, deactivated after their soul bound master passed on. Some are still operational to this day, having been passed from generation to generation. Appearance
-Elven Golems vary greatly in appearance, however many features remain universal over all golems. -A steel shell, usually ornate in design. -Eyes of some sort, which will either take the form of normal eyes, or a full on visor. -A glowing rune on the back of the golem. This rune is the link from the golem to the master. If it is broken, it will deactivate the golem. Culture
Elven Golems do not have culture, they are more extensions of their masters intent rather than their own being. However when not under direct orders, they are generally curious, and do their best to learn and understand the world around them. They are generally kind spirited, despite not being able to speak, and do feel emotion which is overridden when their master commands them.
