Golems are a statue of a human made of clay, wood or stone. They have a code written on their foreheads, (usually the names of their masters,) and they can only be destroyed by erasing it. They are gigantic and strong and basically indesructible. Sorcerors build them to protect them, steal and kill, and do jobs such as building and tearing down stuff. Sounds great, right? Well, eventually, they begin to develop their own personality and go on a murderous rampage of which nobody can stop. That's why they have to be destroyed before it's too late.
