Fight that Thing

Der Golem! by Warren Criswell Most peasants know or at least heard of the main three golem types: clay, stone and iron. They are, in that order, the learning steps of a beginning Golemancer. It's sort of like gaining a bachelors degree, if your senior project could suddenly go kill crazy and smash your head in because you fucked up drawing a single letter 12 months ago. Needless to say, many Golemancers don't get very far in their studies, or reach a point where they don't feel the need to continue. Clay golems, while not the sturdiest, are still terrible engines of destruction. Creators of Flesh Golems are seen as quacks, criminals and pretenders. Continuing with the school theme, creating a specialty golem is a bit like writing a doctoral thesis. These golems are unique in there creation, and their creators set up Universities dedicated to teaching others how to craft their masterpieces. Except these aren't so much schools as long, complicated, often incest...

As always it's impossible to find stuff like this without getting into furry porn. What People Know The elk men live in tribes, centered in the Grey Wood and Sharrwood. Their are rumors of tribes in the north, bordering the Hinterlands, but considering the heathen nature of these sources they are suspect. The elk men are, themselves, heretics, cavorting in foul dances and sacrificing innocents to their nature spirits. They raid in the warmer months, killing most and dragging some to their homes, most likely to be put under the knife or made as slaves.

They have not yet discovered agriculture, and while their magic is primitive and foul (and no doubt the result of holding concert with demons), it can slay and burn j...

You could argue that a fantasy adventure world is defined by the biggest things you can kill. You could also argue that I play too much TOME Lyphindra the Dragon Oerikoran dragons are the misbegotten progeny of Ophion the All-Serpent. Ophion sits at the bottom of Oceanus waiting to die, but is kept alive both by human snake cults and his childrens unending hatred. They wish to be everything their father isn't; they swim through the earth and have grown legs and wings out of spite. Mention water, eggs, serpents, or act sad in their presence is a one way ticket to getting chomped.  Lyphindra is a fairly regular member of her species. She measures roughly 120 ft. in length and has 23 pairs of legs and 14 pairs of stubby wings. She runs a cult of happiness, and spends most of her time writhing on the ground under the effects of massive amounts of psychotropics. Her cult maintains great bonfires and revel for days without food, water or sleep. Those that drop dead are later fil...
