The Shepherd is bound to the land where the Golem was created, drawing strength from sacred sites and ancient rituals.

The Golem Shepherd serves as a spiritual guide and protector, ensuring the Golem remains true to its original purpose. It influences events by subtly guiding the Golem Guardians towards important discoveries and protecting sacred knowledge from those who would misuse it.
