Changes: Stone golem

Revision as of 02:55, 6 July 2016

Stone golem is the most common variety of golems.

Background

Stone golems were manufactured by Paragon Caridin on the Anvil of the Void. However, after their disappearance, golems were no longer made and thus they are more valued than any quantity of gold.^[1] Unlike their steel counterparts which are forged from finely tempered steel, Stone golems are made from more readily available slabs of rock. They cannot use the lightning attack that steel golems have.

Despite their rarity some Stone golems can still be found throughout Thedas, most commonly in abandoned thaigs. Few can also be found in the hands of individuals on the surface such as Wilhelm of Honnleath, Xenon the Antiquarian and Duke Prosper de Montfort.

+__NOTOC__
-Once a crucial part of Orzammar's defenses, golems have all but vanished as the secret to their manufacture was lost over a thousand years ago. What few golems remain are guarded closely by the Shaperate, brought out when the battle with the darkspawn grows desperate enough to risk their loss. No one now would sell a golem for any price, but in ancient times, dwarves sold many golems to the magister lords of Tevinter.
+== Background ==
-They are devastating weapons in war, living siege engines, capable of hurling boulders like a catapult or plowing through enemy lines like an earth quake.
