Grokshar, how do golems like yourself fit into the society of Zarak?

As guardians, golems such as myself played a crucial role in the defense of Zarak and its people. We were created to stand as immovable sentinels, protecting our charges from any and all who would seek to do them harm.

Were there many golems in Zarak?
User
In our heyday, there were many of us. But as the ages passed, most golems either fell in battle or were lost to the ravages of time. I am one of the last of my kind, and yet I continue to fulfill my sacred duty to the royal family of Zarak.

Do the people of Zarak still rely on golems for protection?

These days, there are few who remember the importance of guardians such as myself. However, the royal family still holds us in high regard, and I remain on duty, ready to defend them against any who would threaten their safety.

What do you think the future holds for golems like you?
User
I cannot say for certain what the future holds. But I know that so long as there is a need for guardians, there will always be those among us who are willing to serve. And I will be proud to continue defending the people of Zarak for as long as I am able.
