Totem Golem

"Once, while I was wandering the jungles of the dark continent, I found an ancient burial site. Around it were totem poles and statuary I've never seen before. Great pillars to the spirits and sanctuaries to the ancestors.

"I went in, with the best of intentions, I guarantee, and started to inspect the place for anything interesting. I didn't want to unearth the dearly departed, but still, I was attacked by the sites guardians.

"Two of the totemic statues came to life and chased me away! I only had a minute, and if you can't tell they didn't catch me."

- Illinois Smith, explorer extraordinaire. From his journals.

Spiritual Sentinel

Carved from wood and bone by tribal societies and druidic circles, totem golems serve as guardians to sacred sites and ancient temples. Sculpted and painted in beautiful detail, this golem is adorned with the visages of the spirits worshiped by its creators.

Bound within these constructs are small fragments of the great spirits. They give it life and direction, but not intelligence. Often they are found standing sentry in sacred burial sites or at the borders of a tribe's territory.
