Golem

The Mist has always fascinated people. It is a substance full of danger and potential, through which other worlds can be found. Exploration of the Mist without navigators has always been extremely hazardous and more than one pioneer has been lost forever or returned forever warped by exposure.
Enterprising mages crafted the first golems as the ideal explorers. A core of captures Mist cave the creation energy and a mind, also protecting it from the ravages of the place. Their minds were designed for obedience, but also with a capacity to determine the best courses of actions. Thus the perfect explorer of the Mist was made.
While this was the role the first golems were designed for, it didn't take long for others to realize they could be used in other ways. The variety of materials they could be made of gave them a lot of different purposes and they could be animated with a minimum of sculpting, unlike many constructs which needed fully functional limbs to operate. Their desire to obey, near endless patience, dulled emotions and similar was also instrumental in ensuring they were perfect servants.
And yet, while most golems takes orders gladly, they are not without minds of their own. Some golems, either out of anger at mistreatment or simply a desire for autonomy, break free and chart their own course. These free golems often find the company of other artificial beings more comforting that living beings, seeing in them others who understand their struggles.
