Brief History:
To feel the dice in your hands, watch them roll onto the arena and spawn these giant creatures is rather energetic feeling. Your at the hands of the dice, really and then the insane brawls after is a lot of fun. Can't get another rush quite like it.— Manamishma, Golem Game Champion
Origins of the game date back to Wanderlings who travelled across the lands of Cytal, following their natural sense of curiosity. Children who get easily bored and began animating small figures made out of common materials such as clay and wood. Forcing them to battle in small areas until the opposition was destroyed or they lost interest.
The game of these children drew the attention of other younglings in towns and cities who wanted to play. So blacksmiths, wood carvers, glass blowers and rune scribers would craft dice and bestow enchantments onto them to spawn miniature golems. Allowing for more people to join in on the sport.
The children's game grew in popularity, with groups of adults making bets on matches and elevating the game into larger and grander scales. Eventually cities built arenas such as Oralyn and Sianwood to host the golem battles and host competitions. To please the crowds, the simple rules were epanded upon. Adding additional die, increasing the size of golems and adding items and weapons for them to use. Adding an element of strategy and skill rather than leaving it all to chance.
