This large statue of emerald-green crystal has a humanoid body with the head of an ibis. Tiny symbols and runes are etched into it, and portions are inlaid with bits of gold.
Occult Initiates. Smaragdine golems are crafted by disciples of occult esoterica to guard their secret meeting halls, sacred texts, and the arcane books of power.
Emerald Body. Though they seem to be made entirely of emeralds (and some are used in their construction), a smaragdine golem’s body is closer to enchanted glass than to gemstones, a sad truth that has disappointed many plunderers.
A Maker’s Privilege. Though smaragdine golems are sometimes given to powerful mages, scholars, theurgists, and hierophants as a token of esteem, they are always subject first to the magic and orders of their creators.
Constructed Nature. A golem doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
