The Golems were equipped with baskets that their riders or controllers, could ride in. These baskets were large enough to fit anything up to Dwarf size. Though most of the Golems were given to Dwarves who would reside in this new city, Igdar decided to pass two each to the gnomes and halflings as well as he believed it was not wise to favour one race over another.The Golems were divided amongst seven Houses, and the Lady decided that they would police the streets and to be used in the defense of the town when necessary. The seven houses were to be paid an equal fee by the city for doing so.So that was how it went... for a while. Eventually, the seven Houses became increasingly divided and petty, and squabbled amongst themselves over matters of duty and work. House Drekan claimed House Silas never bothered with controlling the peace, instead the halfling guildmaster Rtuni (a halfling) was more intent on spending his days drinking and playing Gullystone, and House Imar demanded a higher fee for patroling the Squats. House Culder's Highmaster Fherl retired his Golem, claiming it would be more helpful to conduct experiments on it to find out how to build new ones, which led to the ire of the other houses as well as the present Castellan, who balks at paying a fee for work not done. Fherl, of course, claims it is for the long term good and they should not be so short-sighted; the Golems are unable to police the city like they were used to. By making new ones, Mor's End would not suffer as badly as it has.The Seven Houses meet monthly in front of the Tower of Clay, used by Igdar during the period where he built the Golems. Open shoving and finger pointing are evident, and the townsfolk frequently gather to watch the heated debates.The present seven houses:Culder controlled by Fherl, Dwarf ExpertDrekan controlled by Mistar, Female Gnome MageSilar controlled by Rtuni, Halfling Rogue/MageImar controlled by Gharl, Dwarf FtrPhal controlled by Igt, Dwarf SorcererLinbak controlled by Miel, Halfling Druid-RgrNitstar controlled by Ghal, Gnome Rgr-ExpPlot Hooks:One of the controllers has been replaced by a shape-changed kobold, eager to wreck havoc. He will continue to use the Golem to patrol the streets, but is seeding dissent amongst the houses.One of the Golems is destroyed and chaos ensues. Who will patrol the area that it used to? The house is disgraced but the controller employs the party to investigate whodidit.A new Golem has been created! But there's something wrong with it. It runs amok and guess who has to stop it...No time to stat them out right now... the Golems should have rapid healing abilities as long as they are in Mor's End</blockquote>
