Golemancer

Golems are loyal companions and hard workers

Their skills are highly sought after as golems make excellent physical labourers, but their usefulness doesn't stop there; they can be used for anything from fighting wars to being your best friend. Either way, it's good to have a golem around.

Career

Qualifications

Mastery of chosen material, training in golemancy

Career Progression

Apprentice - Basically works as their master's servant in the workshop, doing menial labour such as operating the bellows for a forge or carrying materials; they will observe their master's work and be trained in both golemancy and the working of the material their master specialises in
Journeyman - At this point, they have been fully trained in all the skills they need and are presented with two options: they can either become an official employee to their master or they can travel elsewhere in search of employment under a new master; either way, they would no longer be treated as a servant, but rather a skilled worker
Master - Now, the golemancer is experienced enough to be self-employed and even take on an apprentice; they will get to keep the majority of the income from the golems they make and will earn great prestige

Materials

Apprentices usually start their training with clay, because it is cheap and malleable, as they reach the end of their training their master will train them in the material they are specialised in. Clay is rarely used among professionals. The most common materials used are wood, stone and metal.

Workplace

Tools based on their material will be placed around the workshop and the centre will be left open for constructing the golem. They will have a tower on the workshop which is able to capture light at any time of day and project it to a specific point.

Dangers & Hazards

Golems sometimes go rogue, especially when intended for fighting, and because of their power they are very dangerous. This can be caused by a mistake in the construction of the golem or damage to the Sun-harvester lense
