Golemancy

Golemancy is a long forbidden art of the construction of golems. Golemancy, Golemcraft, or Golemartifex have long been banned in every city and kingdom across Orslozgo. There is little known about the craft other than what is available in the Iylanomicon which is not much in and of itself. There is reportedly not even enough information contained in the Marielle Estate to even begin conjuring one. Because of the lack of knowledge around the forbidden art, many conspiracy theories exist relating to it. It has long been theorized that the Bodice Incident was the result of golemancy.

Golems
Golems come in 4 forms. Clay, Stone, Iron, and Bronze. Each of these terms refers only to the coating or "shell" that makes up the visible part of the golem. Underneath the shell lies the living portion. The reason for golemancy's banning is that from what little information is known, it is required that living creatures must be used in it's production.

The Voytnik Manuscript Number 3 from the Iylanomicon describes golems to be "the embodiment of eternal pain and suffering. The living beings that are used in its creation are worked and live. The process involves the selection of organs and organ systems, tissues and fluids from a variety of creatures to fit the needs of the golem. The 'donors' are left alive in the event that replacement parts are needed"

Common creatures used in golemancy are dogs, cats, owls, panthers, men of the damned, humans, dwarves, goblins, gothes, kobolds, bears, mules, pigs, and cattle.
