Creator Name
Gavin

Species Name
Paper Golem

Physical Description
These are creatures made of paper. They often eat books outside of the section to grow, and actively destroy heretical texts. They are sentient, and wise. They live for about 500 years, after which the spark of life given to them fades away. If they find their own purpose, or are especially dedicated, they may live longer. Due to the fact that their original creator is gone, they are slowly going extinct.

Cultural Description
They are similar to the librarians, in the idea that their soul purpose is to protect the books they have been assigned to. They are almost as intelligent as humans. Any who fail to defend their books in any way are shunned and some may become adventurers. Due to the fact that longer living golems were graced with more life or are more dedicated, elders are highly revered in this society. Wisdom is also regarded highly.

History
The golems were born after a rabbi decided that the religious section of the library was not properly guarded. Now, years after his death, they stalk these halls, destroying anyone who would harm their charge.

Lore Intersection
The golems and the librarians are in a constant half-hatred. Although the golems defend some books fiercely, they destroy others. So, while a siege on a holy text is going on, the librarians and golems would be allies. However, if the golems are invading another section that they think heretical, they would be enemies. A begrudging alliance was created long ago, stating that no blood would be spilled by the other people, except if a book is being threatened. If this treaty were violated, a war may break out.
