Hello,
I thought maybe we should touch bases now that we're back from the fissure. There was some important things going on there that should probably be discussed.
First: The giant crystal in the basement. That thing was a vortex of magical power that I couldn't look at directly without feeling like I was staring at the sun. I didn't want to risk touching it, but I understand several other more
[She stops typing for a minute to consider how to phrase this other than "stupid and foolhardy"]
more risk prone individuals did touch it and were not vaporized on the spot, so I'd be interested in hearing what you thought of that.
Second: I did some reading in the library of Silvereagle Manor and was able to find some rather cryptic references to the basement crystal. I could find frustratingly little concrete data about it, but they did apparently think of it as an item of religious importance. It was referred to as "The Eye", and was apparently a way of communicating with the Planet. Or with "The soul of the planet". Both terms are used interchangeably.
Third: A question, rather than an observation. If I say the word "Golem" to you, what do you imagine? Because I felt like I was thinking of something a little different from everyone else.
If anyone else discovered any useful or interesting information in their explorations, I think it would benefit us all to share it here.
Sincerely,
Samata Mahto.
Wizard.

Second bit: Those books were infuriatingly vague, weren't they? I suppose it makes sense that the books assumed anyone reading would know what The Eye was, but it wasn't helpful...
Third bit: When I hear 'golem' I usually think something vaguely human-shaped, possibly made of clay but generally anything inorganic will do, and generally made by people for the sake of carrying out tasks.
I think the term was originally meant unformed material or something to that effect but language over the years changing, etc.
