Name of the pretender: Creator, Bedrock, Ancient One. Those are titles with
Adameous The First Awoken has been called.
Powers: Adameous powers are still awaken, like he himself. Back in millenniums ago, in birth of the time and world, Titans and Colossi helped Gods creating the world. They shaped ground, creating deep oceans and high mountains, frozen glaciers and burning deserts. Earth was plank canvas and they were painters. They were one with the universe. After the job was done and The One ruled over, Colossi laid down and went to eternal rest, fusing with the world they created. Adameous world changing powers have not awoken yet, but he is still Colossi, one of the Ancient ones. Standing hundreds of meters tall, Adameous must rely on his physical strength and size until he has connected with his brothers and sisters.
-Ancient Colossus: Adameous can crush villages and mountains with his fists and feet, but is really sluggish. His reaction time can be counted in minutes.
Appearance: (You know how annoying it's when you have the perfect picture in mind but can't find it?)
Concept1Concept2Concept3Rituals: The ways how different tribes worship Adameous differs; some chant his name, others build altars. Some tribes has designated persons acting as priest, covering them in symbols and performing rituals.
Name of the Nation: Golems haven't previously desired to own land, as they are part of it and thus can't own it. After Adameous awoke, some Golems have united under banner of Followers of Creator.
History: After creating the earth, Adameous went to eternal rest like all the others Colossi and became one with the world. After The One disappeared and chaos begin to spread again, Adameous was first Ancient Colossi to awaken. He emerged from the world, the forests, mountains, lakes and villages that had formed over him over time rumbling violently and falling of him body as he raised up. This was real surprise to the people and creatures living on and around him as most had no idea they were living on top of Colossus. While news of Colossus awakening spread through nations, fastest is spread through Golems, Giants, Titans and Demi-Colossi, the descendants of Ancient Colossi. In beginning of time, Ancient Colossi had created them for help, shaping the small details of world. From these ancestors current
stone-men descend. To them this meant a God had awoken, the Creator. Although this view was strongest among the Golems living near Adamneous, more distant tribes weren't as exited as Golems don't like to travel, or move overall, much and further away things don't concern them. The objectives behind Adameous awakening are unclear; does he want to become new One? Does he want to rule over everything? Does he want to stop the chaos and bring piece to eternal rest again? Either way, he is currently gathering the Golems, Giants and Demi-Colossi into one nation and seeking to awake his brothers and sisters along his true powers.
Military: Golems are sedate race, being perfectly happy laying still and watching moss slowly growing on them. But that doesn't mean they don't war or other races don't use them as soldiers. They are build from elements and capable to withstand heavy blows. They are big compared to most humanoid races and strong, though sluggish. Most posses ability to collect themselves back together after being knock apart. Golems use melee weapons, blades growing directly from their body.. Some tribes posses elemental based magic powers.
People: Golems split to different tribes based on what element they are made of; Rock Golems, Forest Golems, Fire Golems, Ice Golems, Wind Golems and so on. They all share similar basic structure; humanoid look with two legs and arms, being build from different sized blocks of said element, the blocks connected to each other with life force the Ancient Colossi breath into them. The different tribes live where their element fits best; i.e. Fire-Golems in volcano areas, Ice-Golems in northern glaciers, Stone-Golems in mountains. Besides elements, Golems differ each other by size; Golems are most common race, standing about three meters tall. Then becomes Giants, standing anywhere between five meters to 20. After them become Titans, reaching up to hundred meters. Lastly and most rarely Demi-Colossi, who are direct descendants of Colossi. They can reach almost to Colossus height and some races address them as real Colossi. They are rare to find and most are fused to mountains, laid there almost as long as their Creators. Controlling elements is important for Golems. All Golems posses enough magic to keep themselves in stack and are able to absorb elements from their surroundings. Then there are tribes who practice magic actively and are able to create elements from air with their magic.
Important persons: Each Tribe has Elder, leader chosen by others who has final say in decisions. Golems don't make hasty decisions and it may take weeks from Elder to finally say his answer. Elders are always regarded as wisest and calmest of Golems and they may seem nothing but statues to other races as most calmest Elders breath once a week.
