Connections: 01.09, 11.08 and 31.04.
A large one-armed clay golem can be found in his hex marching due west towards Fernsbank (01.09), where the clay that the first humans were formed out of is said to be found. It smashes aside anything that it comes across (such as, say, the Bolger Freehold (11.08) which it is headed right for) but is otherwise non-violent.
Fighting this clay golem will not be an easy task as it can simply smooth away most forms of damage and even reattach severed body parts. Perhaps the best way of combating it is to heat it with fire to make it less flexible and more brittle or perhaps softening it with water to make it more plastic and then twisting its arm out of position.
It is not clear what the purpose of the clay golem is, but it is emblazoned across the chest with the coat of arms of House Olmsted (31.04): a silver phoenix, its beak ripping a bloody wound in its own chest.
Hooks:
- What’s the clay golem up to?
- Why does House Olmsted have a self-wounding phoenix as its sigil?
