Golemworks

From PathfinderWiki

The Golemworks is one of the most iconic industries in Magnimar. As its name implies, it produces golems.123

Structure

Located in the Bridgeward district near the northern section of the Irespan, from the outside, the Golemworks look like a set of rather unremarkable warehouses. Inside the building artisans help create golems and simpler constructs using fallen blocks from the Irespan. Most of these blocks were dredged from the Varisian Gulf as, after the tragic events of 4623 AR, removing stone from the bridge itself has been banned.12

History

Nearly thirty years ago, Toth Bhreacher discovered that the stones of the Irespan proved very useful in any sort of magic with the most obvious application in the creation of stone based constructs. Since then his operation has transformed from a small wizard's studio into a full blown industry.12

Training

Wizards and those skilled in alchemy can become apprentices at the Golemworks. These chosen few specialize in transmutation or crafting skills, and some focus on general studies that aid in construction.4

Wares

One of the more popular items manufactured for sale by the Golemworks is the angelic guardian.5

Symbol

The symbol for the Golemworks is a clenched fist, the back of which is embossed with a diagonally placed, crenellated tower and chisel.4

Several individual types of golems were renamed to have generic, standalone names. A canon replacement for this construct or its golem-specific properties might not exist.
